    <p>I would consider using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.dock.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Control.Dock</code></a> property along with one of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.dockstyle.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>DockStyle</code></a> enumeration values. </p> <p>You might need to play with the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.layout.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Layout</code></a> too, so that you may layout your form's controls differently depending on the <code>DockStyle</code> selected.</p> <p>You will need, in my point of view, to consider the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.location.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Control.Location</code></a> property so that you get to know which <code>DockStyle</code> value to dock your form with.</p> <p><strong>EDIT #1</strong></p> <p>Your Windows Form has a <code>Dock</code> property as it inherits from <code>Control</code>.</p> <p>Let's consider the following :</p> <ol> <li><p>Each time your form comes closer to your right-side of the screen, for example, or of the MDI container, you want to dock right, right ? (Little word play here... =P) So, you have to subscribe to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.locationchanged.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Control.LocationChanged</code></a> event.</p> <pre><code>private void myForm_LocationChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (this.Location.X &gt; 900) then this.Dock = DockStyle.Right; else if (this.Location.X &lt; 150) then this.Dock = DockStyle.Left; else if (this.Location.Y &gt; 600) then this.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom; else if (this.Location.Y &lt; 150) then this.Dock = DockStyle.Top; else this.Dock = DockStyle.None; } </code></pre></li> </ol> <p>Indeed, instead of constant values, you should use the current desktop resolution and calculate a ratio from it where you want your docking to occur.</p> <p>***Disclaimer:****This code is provided as-is and has not been tested. This algorithm is hopefully enough to guide you through the docking process as you need it. Further assistance may be brought upon request.* =)</p> <p>It seems the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.desktoplocation.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Form.DesktopLocation</code></a> property is the righter tool for the job as for your main window, meaning your MDI container, for instance. As for the other windows, I would go along with something that looks like the code sample provided.</p> <p>Does this help?</p> <p><strong>EDIT #2</strong></p> <p>If you want to prevent Form's overlapping, perhaps the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/system.windows.forms.control.bringtofront(VS.80).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Control.BringToFront()</code></a> method could do it before or after your call to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.show.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Control.Show()</code></a> method, depending on what works best for you.</p>

    1. COhello, thanks for the response. I'm a bit new to using the extensive functionalities of Visual Studio 2008 and i quite don't know how I can use the Control.Dock property. Can you please give me some examples on how I can use those properties? thanks :)

    3. CO@Jouke Van Der Maas: I guess you didn't read all of my answer. I mention the `DesktopLocation` property, that is, for docking the whole window on the desktop. Furthermore, I suggest that this might be a better tool for the job after the OP precised his idea. Please revise your comment accordingly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
