Is this part of MVC in .NET?

Question

I have a .NET MVC winform app. I've created an AppDelegate class that handles application startup and shutdown...for now (it might do more later). Winform apps have a Program.cs file that does some app initialization, starts the message pump and creates the first form. In my app, the first form is AppDelegate, which isn't really a form but is forced that way by Application.Run(). AppDelegate does any further app initialization and starts the first Controller, which then initializes any child controllers (these then create their views).

I don't consider events occuring in Program.cs and AppDelegate as part of the MVC. Conceptually, what would these be called?

Answer 1

you can call Application.Run without a form to start a message loop, and do whatever you want afterwards like call your AppDelegate. It doesn't have to pretend to be something it's not then.

Answer 2

Awesome. Thanks. Any idea on the other questions?
