    {

      StudentRegister student=  new StudentRegister();

Answer 1

As my understanding you want to open child page inside MDI page. first of in WPF don't have MDI window.

if you are using " student.ShowDialog(); " then page or window will open as a popup.

possible solution:--

you can use ContentControl on main window and create usercontrol instead of window. then you can add user control to ContentControl.

<Border ClipToBounds="True" Grid.Row="1" Background="WhiteSmoke">
  <ContentControl x:Name="DetailsControl" Margin="10" HorizontalAlignment="Left"    VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</Border>

var student= new StudentRegister ();
DetailsControl.Content = student;
