How to create a rich user interface Windows application, example Photo Shop.

I am looking for clean MVC tutorial for WinForms with C# somewhere. (Not ASP.NET MVC.)

Being new on the Windows Platform; most MSDN and internet tutorials basically puts everything into the Form class. Further Default events are handled inside of the form, instead of sending events to the control/model, which in it's turn changes the view's state.

Or is the preferred methodology for Windows Applications something else?

Derick Bailey (via Los Techies) has blogged some fantastic articles (and complete demo source code) for his implementation of MVP in a WinForms app with a couple of other good patterns added to the mix (Application Controller, Event Aggregator).

The work is inspired by Jeremy D Miller's series of articles titled 'Build Your Own CAB'
