Can anyone tell me the best, or widely accepted practice for Windows
Forms to talk to each other with Visual Studio 2005 and c#. I was using
Events/Delegates, but without the need for multicasting it seems a
little much. Passing WinForm object references around feels sloppy.
I've been using interfaces, e.g. having a common interface for the
forms needing to communicate, and this works well for me, but I'd like
a standard to follow. Thanks!

I have been using SC-BAT pattern for a while, in this pattern, event
broker is used heavily to communicate between forms.

I also have used the three methods (even if the two latter are similar). I
use either one depending of the need of the app. If all you need in your app
is that one particular form communicate with just another then passing a
reference is OK, If I need that a particular form communicate with more than
one form then I implement an interface.


Again, based on your project needs you select the best, easier way to
implement form intercommunication.
