Implement Doc-View with Windows Forms

Introduction

Being mainly an MFC developer, I thought the new technologies such as C# support document view in a more elegant fashion and in a simpler way. Alas, to suit my needs, what I finally found after desperately searching on the internet is this:

• Creating Document-Centric Applications in Windows Forms, Part 3

Points of Interest

1. C# doesn't provide any templates or easy way to build a doc view application like MFC.
2. Still auto numbering of new documents is not implemented in the sample provided in the above link.
3. It is not as simple as I thought.
