MDI Form - Unload All Children

I am having a bit of trouble getting used to .NET MDI forms. In VB6 you used to be able to do this:

Code:

Dim frm As Form
        For Each frm In Forms
            If frm.Name <> mdiName Then
                If frm.MDIChild = True Then
                    Unload(frm)
                End If
            End If
            frm = Nothing
        Next

Which looped through all the open forms and shut them except the MDI form.

How do I replicate this in .NET, I can't get to grips with the Forms class and how to loop through it.

Thanks for your help.

The Form class has a member called MdiChildren. Loop through it to close all the children:

Code:

 
Dim frm As Form
 
For Each frm In Me.MdiChildren
	frm.Close()
Next frm
