How to display data in MdiChild forms received from serialport
<p>Sir, 
I created a MDI Parent form and three Mdi Child forms. Each child form contains a button. on clicking the button a new form is displayed. Mean to say if I click all the 3 buttons in 3 child form then there will be 3 new forms displayed. Its Fine. </p>

<p>My problems are :</p>

<p>1- Each new form which is displayed on clicking the button is also shown in the taskbar. I want each new form(apart from mdi child form) to be the mdi child of the main mdi parent.</p>

<p>2- These new forms diaplay the data received from the device connected via serialport. How many serialport objects I must create? If one, then where it must be created, on the Main mdi parent form or on the individual forms(3 new forms) ? If it is on the MDI parent form then how can i access that object in the 3 newly opened forms? If it is on the newly created forms then there would be 3 serialport objects accessing the same COM port which will result an Exception stating- "COM port is not accessible".</p>

<p>PLease reply... I am recently passed out graduate and new in c#. SO please reply so that i can undrstand properly.
Thanks....</p>
