The role of the controller and view are <em>very</em> similar, but they may get a little more responsibility depending upon your implementation. Within MVP, there are two implementation methods: Supervising Controller and Passive View. MVP is usually considered the standard architecture for WinForms clients and can be applied to WebForms as well.
