Is it so difficult to look at the MSDN documentation page on a class and find the method Close?

The problem is: why MDI? How much longer people are going to get into it? Who needs MDI, ever? Why torturing yourself and scaring off your users?
Do yourself a great favor: do not use MDI at all. You can do much easier to implement design without it, with much better quality. MDI is highly discouraged even by Microsoft, in fact, Microsoft dropped it out of WPF and will hardly support it. More importantly, you will scare off all your users if you use MDI. Just don't. I can explain what to do instead.

C#

// Assume that your parent window is parentForm
// When you are creating each form, add it to parentForm's owned forms
// Let's say you're creating form1
MyForm form1 = new MyForm();
parentForm.AddOwnedForm(form1);//if you&#39;re in your parentForm&#39;s class use this.AddOwnedForm(form1);
form1.Show();

// then when you want to close all of them simple call the below code

foreach(Form form in parentForm.OwnedForms)
{
      form.Close();
}

// And also you can call this if you&#39;re in parentForm&#39;s class
foreach(Form form in this.OwnedForms)
{
      form.Close();
}</pre>
