Working with multiple forms

In this situation the 'master form' should control the sub form(s) creation.
The 'second form' should raise an event such as ThirdFormRequested. The 'master form' in it's handler for this event can then close the 'second form' and open the 'third form'.

Something like this:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MasterSlave
{
    public partial class FormMaster : Form
    {
        FormSlave formSlave;

        public FormMaster()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Shown += new EventHandler(FormMaster_Shown);
        }

        void FormMaster_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CreateSlave();
        }

        private void CreateSlave()
        {
            formSlave = new FormSlave();
            formSlave.OtherSlaveRequest += new EventHandler(formSlave_OtherSlaveRequest);
            formSlave.Show();
        }

        void formSlave_OtherSlaveRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (formSlave != null)
                formSlave.Close();
            CreateSlave();
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace MasterSlave
{
    public partial class FormSlave : Form
    {
        public event EventHandler OtherSlaveRequest;
        private Button button;
        public FormSlave()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            button = new Button();
            button.Text = "Other &Slave";
            Controls.Add(button);
            button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);
        }
        void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            OnOtherSlaveRequest(EventArgs.Empty);
        }
        protected virtual void OnOtherSlaveRequest(EventArgs e)
        {
            EventHandler eh = OtherSlaveRequest;
            if (eh != null)
                eh(this, e);
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I found one more solution which is very much what I was looking for.
I prefer to use Parent and child concept here.
So that I can use same form master form and I can use other child forms to get open in the parent form
like as follows I will write in Form one.

Form2 obj = new Form2();
obj.MdiParent = this;
obj.Show();

Cheers,
Deepak

[Added by DaveyM69] You never mentioned you were making a MDI application!

If it's an MDI app then this is fine as the child cannot exist without the parent so the coupling of Form2 to Form1 is OK and is desirable.

If it's not then it's a poor approach as any call to this.MdiParent may potentially fail if later the form is used not as a child.[/Added]

Actually I am new to this and was searching some solution to j=have similar menu strip for all the pages. MDI application gives this. I think I can go with this. In future may be I don't need to change the strategies .

Thanks !!
