MDI Parent

[shrona]

My doubt is -
Is it necessary to use MDI Parent for Library Management System?
If yes then how to use it?
Can it be done on simple forms itself by giving links instead of using MDI?

Depends on how you design the system. In my opinion, a MDI application is the best way to go about for a system such as a Library Management.

MDI stands for Multiple Document Interface so it is often a good choice when you will have multiple documents open at the same time, e.g. you will open a single record in a form and you might have multiple records open at the same time. If you're not going to make use of multiple documents then MDI is pointless.

It' s better to use MDI parent MDI so that the child form will open under only 1 parent window.
To use this feature, in your Main Form properties IsMdiContainer set to True

and inside code, I assume that your child form is frmChild

frmChild.MdiParent = Me
