GUI Development Framework for .Net?

Question

I'm searching for a framework to simplify the development of Winform graphic interfaces. I mean a framework with good implementation of GUI patterns (like MVC, Action, Undo, Observer, Container ...)

I'm tired of writing them every time just to find out that I forgot a little bit here and there!

Thanks.

First thing to do is look at Codeplex.com for WinForms Frameworks. There you will find some such as:

Rocket Framework -Windows http://rocketframework.codeplex.com/

Claymore MVP http://claymore.codeplex.com/

koossery.MVCwin: an MVC open source framework for winform .NET applications http://koosserymvcwin.codeplex.com/

and more...

Or as mentioned by others, you can switch to WPF which allows you to use patterns such as WPF Apps With The Model-View-ViewModel MVVM using Microsoft Frameworks such as Prism. Here some info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx
