Hi Presentational Framework always depends on the technologies that you are choosing. For example: WPF - MVVM Winforms - MVP ASP.Net - MVC Note: If you want to implement MVVM pattern with Winforms that is also possible. But you need to write lot of code to achieve this. Whereas it is easy to implement MVVM using WPF because of its features. Coming back to your question: If you want to implement small windows application I would suggest to go for WPF using MVVM since it is latest technology and powerful. You can easily implement a loosely coupled architecture using MVVM. Thanks Siva
