I have a winform UI with many different controls like datagridview, combo box, text box, list box. Data displayed to these controls are from dynamically processed busines logic implementations. I am looking for a good design(may be good design patterns) create this winform project.

One thought i have is to create a helper file for this specific UI and do the business logic on the helper file and then just returned the data required for each controls to display. By this i can avoid display logic from business logic.

Just wanted to know whether any appropriate design patterns available for this scenario? Or can we have a better design other than using the helper file method as said earlier?

What I have tried:

You can use a strategy with datasources in a Logic-class, and connect them to every control in the Form Gui.

Have You thought of MVVM?

Thank you Conny.
I thought of MVVM. Since i am using winforms and not WPF MVVM not sure? I know I can achieve it with INotifier and bind it. I think i may have to design a logic class for each control?

The FACADE pattern might be of interest to you:
Facade pattern - Wikipedia[^]
It is one of the patterns of the 'Gang of four':
Design Patterns - Wikipedia[^]
You already figured most of this out by mentioning a 'helper' class.

There is also a more "handson" example available on CodeProject:
