Can A winform app be switched to a WPF one if MVC architecture is used?

Question

If we develop a winform app using an MVC architecture, it should not be too hard to change over to WPF at a later date, correct?

Answer 1

Well designed WPF application heavily leverage data-binding. As such, you might consider using classes such as ObservableCollection and others and implement IPropertyNotify when designing your model.

Look up some references to the M-V-VM pattern advocated by Microsoft product groups (e.g., Blend) for more information.
