    <p>What I've done in the past is use something similar, <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/a/7/3a7fa450-1f33-41f7-9e6d-3aa95b5a6aea/MSDNMagazineAugust2006en-us.chm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Model-View-Presenter</a>.</p> <p>[NOTE: This article used to be available on the web. To see it now, you'll need to download the CHM, and then view the file properties and click Unblock. Then you can open the CHM and find the article. Thanks a million, Microsoft! <em>sigh</em>]</p> <p>The form is the view, and I have an IView interface for it. All the processing happens in the presenter, which is just a class. The form creates a new presenter, and passes itself as the presenter's IView. This way for testing you can pass in a fake IView instead, and then send commands to it from the presenter and detect the results.</p> <p>If I were to use a full-fledged Model-View-Controller, I guess I'd do it this way:</p> <ul> <li>The form is the <strong>view</strong>. It sends commands to the model, raises events which the controller can subscribe to, and subscribes to events from the model.</li> <li>The <strong>controller</strong> is a class that subscribes to the view's events and sends commands to the view and to the model.</li> <li>The <strong>model</strong> raises events that the view subscribes to.</li> </ul> <p>This would fit with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the classic MVC diagram</a>. The biggest disadvantage is that with events, it can be hard to tell who's subscribing to what. The MVP pattern uses methods instead of events (at least the way I've implemented it). When the form/view raises an event (e.g. someButton.Click), the form simply calls a method on the presenter to run the logic for it. The view and model don't have any direct connection at all; they both have to go through the presenter.</p>

    1. COEveryone has their own favourite recipe for MVC / MVP. My vote would be to strafe through http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/ModelViewPresenter.html & then decide. I wrote up a example-turned-epic once on the TDD yahoogroup titled Example-of-test-driving-a-UI-Application in case you have time to kill.

    3. COOne of the simplest, yet complete answers I've read so far. My thoughts on this relate pretty much to what you've stated, but I find no universal recipe for MVC. Most applications will have specific needs, and I find most of the time controllers being merged with the view - Event Handlers in form classes.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
