Design question for forms and data models

[melinda]

Here's the classes I have: One form to display the data, one large data model
class to handle "data change" events, and one or more smaller data model
classes (representing each piece of data).

So that's what I have so far, and I want to use events and delegates to
notify that the data has changed, but.....I don't know how to tie it all
together. Do I use threads or do I create an arraylist of small data models
within the form and an instance of the large data model within the form, or
what? I'm a little lost with this design, so any thoughts would help.
Thanks!

Have a look at MVC,
google for "model view controller patterns c#"
I've just ported a mfc doc/view application and used this type of pattern,
it's quite easy to implement.
