See my past answer here:
Is it possible to run a window form application from another running window form application[^].

I think I described all opportunities you can use.

Besides: don't use MDI to avoid a lot of trouble and achieve acceptable user experience. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface#Disadvantages[^],
Question on using MDI windows in WPF[^],
MDIContainer giving error[^].
