Hi,
I'm looking for an MVVM implementation for ASP.NET. How should I approach this ? Can you propose any design that solves this problem particularly for ASP.NET Webforms ?
Thanks.

I don't know about MVVM but would MVC be okay for you? Then go for ASP.NET MVC.
Best Regards

MVVM and MVC are completely different paradigms.

I wouldn't say "completely different"... MVVM is largely based on MVC, although there are important differences

I know that they aren't equal and therefore I asked if ASP.NET MVC would fit your needs to ;)

A:
A lot of MVC'ers are doing something akin to a view model in the sense that instead of returning domain objects to the controller, they have a flattened data structure (a view model) of all the data needed for that view regardless of how many domain objects worth of data it contains. In that regard a view model is very doable with MVC, and I'm sure it could be leveraged in webforms as well. However, there is no way that I know of to do the two way databinding / commanding / event aggregation that is associated with MVVM in WPF.
Although I don't know of any webform implimentations you could try some of the approaches described here:
Jimmy Bogard - How we do MVC
Here is a very interesting article on how to do MVP in winforms:
Castle Windsor's MVP with ASP.NET
Maybe you can create a hybrid of these two approaches using webforms.

Take a look at http://aspnetmvvm.codeplex.com/.
The framework author aslo talks about it a little at: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/smart/PMinAction.aspx
