Looking for clean WinForms MVC tutorial for C#

Question

How to create a rich user interface Windows application, example Photo Shop.

I am looking for clean MVC tutorial for WinForms with C# somewhere. (Not ASP.NET MVC.)

Being new on the Windows Platform; most MSDN and internet tutorials basically puts everything into the Form class. Further Default events are handled inside of the form, instead of sending events to the control/model, which in it's turn changes the view's state.

Or is the preferred methodology for Windows Applications something else?

Derick Bailey (via Los Techies) has blogged some fantastic articles (and complete demo source code) for his implementation of MVP in a WinForms app with a couple of other good patterns added to the mix (Application Controller, Event Aggregator).

The work is inspired by Jeremy D Miller's series of articles titled 'Build Your Own CAB'

Solution 2

It might be worth looking at the Model-View-ViewModel (if you're interested/happy to use WPF particularly).

It's tweaked specifically to work with WPF and Silverlight, and makes use of databinding in order to glue everything together.

There's a number of resources on the web for finding out more, including John Gossman's introduction, and a good article by Josh Smith, who has other resources on his blog relating to MVVM.
