WinFormsMVC

I’ve been working on a Windows Forms based project recently, and I quickly became frustrated at how unwieldy it became after just a short while. I have also been working a lot with the ASP.NET MVC framework recently, and I thought this model might work better, so I set out to build a proof-of-concept of what Windows Forms MVC might look like.

So far I have a very rough framework, but it’s at a point where feedback would be beneficial so I have published the project over on CodePlex. So go take a look, browse the source, and let me know what you think!

Implementing MVC in win forms, or better yet one of the MVPs like passive view is fairly trivial, and for me at least a standard recommended practice. I am not so sure a framework for it is either helpful or required. POCOs and YAGNI ftw!

Can you clear up what advantages an MVC framework for win forms has over simply using it as a pattern?
