The heart of model view presenter is to pull all the behavior of the presentation out of view and place it in a separate presenter class.
To start out we need to define a contract for our view. The model is a class that stores a bunch of primitives, and the view is a form that provides a listbox for selecting individual data items, whose members are then displayed in text boxes.
