Where have to define mode, where have to check mode, and how to navigate respected form ? There is OnLoaded event in code behind. I am new in WPF so please help me for the same.

Something like this should be a good way to let Window know what mode it should be in:

Window:

public enum Mode
{
    Edit, Update, Delete
}

public class MyWindow : Window
{
    public Mode Mode { get; set; }

    public MyWindow()
    {
        InititalizeComponent();

        Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MyWindow_Loaded);
    }

    void MyWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        switch (Mode)
        {
            case Mode.Edit:
                // Changes needed in UI for Edit Mode
                break;
            case Mode.Update:
                // Changes needed in UI for Update Mode
                break;
            case Mode.Delete:
                // Changes needed in UI for Delete Mode
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
}

Usage:

public void MyWindowTest()
{
    MyWindow window = new MyWindow();
    window.Mode = Mode.Edit;
    window.Show();
}
