Is MDI supported by .Net?

I'm just getting started in .Net. A friend has told me that .Net does not
directly support an MDI interface, and that it uses a VB6 library wrapper to
work. Is this true?

LOL!!! Mr. Lightert hit the nail on the head. What vestiges of VB6
could possibly be requisite in VB.NET, other than those that satiate
VB6 developers who are still coming to terms with true OOP?

You could possibly fault the implementation of some areas in V.NET, but
native MDI support isn't one of them. :)

Hi Dave,

Your friend is misguided, MDI is supported. Windows forms have the
IsMdiContainer property, MdiParent, MdiChildren etc.
