Question

Scenario:

I have one GUI where i have multiple user controls as:

• One UserControl on left side of form that contain data filter and selection feature.
• Another User Control on right side display/ Report data on selection from left side user control.
• Last on is Menu band that control the view of above two control on some menu selection and the view of these controls change but data remain same with some conditional modifications.

That i have do somewhat. Used a global class that have some event which will be raised to make changes/ modification in these views.
I did somewhat accordingly, but i want to implement it in a maintainable way so that if i need to make some modification in functionality then i need not to change whole system.

Is there any design pattern or Model to implement such functionality where you can maintain such type of functionality in win forms?? if yes then please provide some information with some implementation..

I know this is little subjective question, but if reference links provided then much better.

Thanks in advance.

You want a model object shared between the different parts of your UI that implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. Use a BindingSource to link the controls with the model.
