I've created a .NET winforms MVC. The Controller and View are in the same EXE. Model is in a set of DLLs that get used by several groups. The MVC is very explicit. Model knows nothing of Controller and Controller knows nothing of View. I'm thinking to put the Controller in its own DLL so that it can be unit tested. Highly unlike so...

The below is an involved problem, I've done a great amount of research, but have been unable to solve it thus far. I'm happy to find either a solution or a workaround.

I'm in the process of evaluating the use of CAB for a new .net 3.5 winform project I plan to use the Infragistics toolset, which is known to be 'CAB compliant' While CAB has the immediate upside of letting me focus on my business instead of coding basic docking/login/etc code, I feel like I would be able to achieve the same level of fu...

In .NET 3.5 winforms, I've created an MVC. I'd like to take the controller part and put it into a separate assembly, so that it has no knowledge of the view. My app uses five forms in its view.
