Use Application.OpenForms collection:

var names = Application.OpenForms.Cast<Form>().Select(f => f.Name);

If you want types of opened forms, then select f.GetType().Name

its showing like this System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereSelectEnumerableIterator`2[System.Windows.Forms.Form,System.String] – Happy Dec 15 '13 at 17:10
@Happy yes, that will be collection. You can create list of names with `names.ToList()` or you can create string with all names `String.Join(Environment.NewLine, names)` – Sergey Berezovskiy Dec 15 '13 at 17:16

If you want system wide you can use EnumWindows to get all top level windows, your question isn't clear about exactly what you're after.

How can I get EnumWindows to list all windows?

Looks like a poorly formatted duplicate of Sergey's answer. I wonder why this two-year-old question recently had this answer added, and then three days later selected as correct. – James Oct 05 '15 at 08:36
