First of i am not a UI developer and this is probably a very simple problem.

What i have is a external service that I subscribe to an event, when ever that event fires a service picks this up, manipulates the data in some way then gives the UI the data to display

What i am unsure of is how to archetect this and keep the dependancy between the service which will tell the UI to update and the UI as loose as possible.

Can anyone suggest a stratagy for this or post me some links on examples or an open source project to actually look at some working code.

I am using c# and ether wpf or winforms for this.

Cheers

Colin G

    How simple is this application?

    The simplest solution is to have the data access/manipulation in one object, and have the UI passed as an interface into that object. With the UI interface methods, you can give data to the UI but let the UI handle displaying the data in a GUI thread-safe manner.

    If it’s a more complex application, I’d say it would make more sense to look into something like MVC or MVP. Or MVVM for WPF, maybe look at Bea Costa’s blog for databinding examples.
