How do I pass an object reference to a controller in MVC?

I am trying to make better use of MVC / MVP style patterns with my WinForm applications and I am afraid what might be with someone with more experience might help me.

Below is my main project:
alt text

The class G2.cs

handles the execution of various threads and includes Start / Stop and other various methods associated with those threads. I think this is my "main" class. It also contains the main loop for my application.

My GUI has three forms and a corresponding controller for each. The button MainForm

has Start / Stop buttons that should call methods in my class G2

, as well as possible future forms.

What would be the correct way to pass the reference of my G2 class to all view controllers that need it? Do I need to pass a link G2

to the form when I create it and the form in turn passes it to my controllers or ... is this not a good way to handle things?

Also, am I correcting that the responsibility for instantiating this controller and its controller "owner" is the responsibility of Views?

If G2 is the main programming class and only exists in one instance, then I would use the singleton pattern in that class - no need to pass references.
