Hi anurag , you Need to Write your Own Class for handling Collection of Form to Perform Such a Taks there is no inbuit facility to perform such type of task . However you can List the Forms Which are Currently open in the application By FormCollection fc = Application.OpenForms; and Iterate through all the forms which are Currently Open dont forget to mark " Do you like answer " if answer helped you :) Thank you :)

so i think you definatly need to use MSSQL Catalog capability, index by formid. each form will come to the catalog and search any term, whatever you put in the catalog and the user typed will be automatically fixed or given a substitute :-)

well i m making around 50 forms in my application, so for searching these forms i want to create a search engine in my window application........... i want that if a user has entered any string in textbox ,it should match the complete string with the text property of the form only, not the text which is present on the form and not with the form name. Also it should check for critical errors like More than one spacing .If there is more than one spacing then also it should automatically remove the extra spaces and display the corresponding form. I want the search functionality like in windows Kindly please help me regarding this........

what do you refer to as Search Fuctionality... if you need DB Search, use the Full Index Catalogs...
