Hi,
try this

      MdiClient ctlMDI;

            // Loop through all of the form's controls looking

            // for the control of type MdiClient.

            foreach (Control ctl in this.Controls)

            {

                try

                {

                    // Attempt to cast the control to type MdiClient.

                    ctlMDI = (MdiClient)ctl;

                    // Set the BackColor of the MdiClient control.

                    ctlMDI.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

                }

                catch (InvalidCastException exc)

                {

                    // Catch and ignore the error if casting failed.

                }

            }

            }
