I’m writing a WinForms application and want to have an “MVC-Type” Design. Actually it’s more MVP or MVVM,.

The plan is to have a Central Controller which does all the actual work, so that the Forms just render out ViewModels and handle user input, but everything that actually does something goes through the Controller.

I just wonder if this is a good idea, and where to put the Controller? The current idea is to have a static class which is initialized in Program.cs (Sending in some Dependencies like IMyDatabaseRepository) so that it just stays a controller that delegates work between User Interface and Model.

As you might guess, I come from a Web Background and have little experience with WinForms architecture. Previously, my MainForm was the Controller class, holding all the State Variables, which obviously means that my MainForm is my application rather than just a part of the User Interface.
