Windows Forms has Events/EventHandlers, WPF has Commands. While you can kind-of say that WinForms Events/EventHandlers serve the same function as WPF Commands ... handling user interaction ... these two technology stacks have very different architectures. WPF implements "event bubbling:" WinForms does not, etc.

There are some attempts to make WinForms have some of the command pattern "goodness" that WPF does, but, imho, these in general are hacks. There are a lot of articles here on CodeProject that offer some kind of MVP framework for Win Forms.

This article may clarify some of the key differences for you: [^].

"Commands" don't exist in Windows Forms.

There's a project on CodePlex where the author has done a custom implementation of commands in WinForms. It's only a side-project and only listed under "Downloads overview": WPF Application Framework (WAF)[^] (see "WAF Windows Forms Adapter 1.0.0.1" under "Experimental"). I checked it out a while ago and it worked fine.
