Model View Presenter

Separate the logic for the visual display from the event handling behaviour by putting them into two classes named as, the view and the presenter, respectively.

The view (the Web page or Web Part) manages the controls on the Web page and forwards user events to a presenter. The presenter contains the logic to respond to the events, updates the model (both the business logic and the application data), and alters the state of the view.

Step 1: Create an interface for a business object (Model). For example:
  1. public interface IModelStudent  
  2.     {  
  3.         IEnumerable<tbl_Student> StudentList();  
  4.         bool IsSuccessful { get; set; }  
  5.         void AddStudent(tbl_Student student);  
  6.         void EditStudent(tbl_Student student);  
  7.         tbl_Student GetStudent(long StuID);  
  8.         void DeleteStudent(long StuID);  
  9.   
  10.     } 
Step 2: Create a class for Model
  1. public class ModelStudent : IModelStudent  
  2.    {  
  3.        StudentDBEntities db;  
  4.        //Custructor  
  5.        public ModelStudent()  
  6.        {  
  7.            db = new StudentDBEntities();  
  8.        }  
  9.        //List  
  10.        public IEnumerable<tbl_Student> StudentList()  
  11.        {  
  12.            return db.tbl_Student.ToList();  
  13.        }  
  14.        public bool IsSuccessful { get; set; }  
  15.        public void AddStudent(tbl_Student student)  
  16.        {  
  17.            try  
  18.            {  
  19.                db.tbl_Student.AddObject(student);  
  20.                db.SaveChanges();  
  21.                IsSuccessful = true;  
  22.            }  
  23.            catch (Exception)  
  24.            {  
  25.                IsSuccessful = false;  
  26.            }  
  27.        }  
  28.        public void EditStudent(tbl_Student student)  
  29.        {  
  30.            try  
  31.            {  
  32.                tbl_Student originalStudent = db.tbl_Student.Where(w => w.StuID == student.StuID).Select(s => s).FirstOrDefault();  
  33.                db.tbl_Student.ApplyCurrentValues(student);  
  34.                db.SaveChanges();  
  35.                IsSuccessful = true;  
  36.            }  
  37.            catch  
  38.            {  
  39.                IsSuccessful = false;  
  40.            }  
  41.        }  
  42.        public tbl_Student GetStudent(long StuID)  
  43.        {  
  44.            return db.tbl_Student.Where(w => w.StuID == StuID).Select(s => s).First();  
  45.        }  
  46.        public void DeleteStudent(long StuID)  
  47.        {  
  48.            try  
  49.            {  
  50.                var student = db.tbl_Student.Where(w => w.StuID == StuID).Select(s => s).FirstOrDefault();  
  51.                db.tbl_Student.DeleteObject(student);  
  52.                db.SaveChanges();  
  53.                IsSuccessful = true;  
  54.            }  
  55.            catch (Exception)  
  56.            {  
  57.                IsSuccessful = false;  
  58.            }  
  59.        }  
  60.   
  61.    } 
Step 3: Create an interface for View
  1. public interface IViewStudent  
  2.     {  
  3.         long StuID { get; set; }  
  4.         string StuName { get; set; }  
  5.         int Age { get; set; }  
  6.         IEnumerable<tbl_Student> students { get; set; }  
  7.         tbl_Student studentDetails { get; set; }  
  8.         event EventHandler LoadStudents;  
  9.         event EventHandler<EventArgs> AddStudent;  
  10.         event EventHandler<EventArgs> EditStudent;  
  11.         event EventHandler<EventArgs> GetStudent;  
  12.         event EventHandler<EventArgs> DeleteStudent;  
  13.     } 
Step 4: Create UI like below with a Label, TextBox and Button.CRUD operation
