Wrapping a Model with a visual control

If you have a simple data model instance.

class AppleModel
{
   int PipCount = 3;
   Boolean isFresh = true;
}

And you want to make a Visual Control of this:

class AppleView : PictureBox
{

    private AppleModel _model; 

    public AppleView( AppleModel model )
    {
         this._model = model;
         .........
    }

}

Is there a mechanism that allows AppleView to gain access to the properties of the AppleData?

For example:

AppleModel Model = new AppleModel();
AppleView View = new AppleView(Model);

View.PipCount = 99;
//not View.Model.PipCount = 99;
Console.WriteLine(Model.PipCount.ToString()); //99

Yes, those are called Properties in C#, an object can easily forward properties to one of its member by redeclaring them:

class AppleModel
{
   int PipCount { get; set; }    // Auto Property
   Boolean isFresh {get ; set; } // Auto Property
}

class AppleView : PictureBox
{

  private AppleModel _model; 

  public AppleView( AppleModel model )
  {
         this._model = model;
     .........
  }

  int PipCount 
  { 
   get { return this._model.PipCount; } 
   set { this._model.PipCount = value; }
  }

  int isFresh 
  { 
   get { return this._model.PipCount; } 
   set { this._model.PipCount = value; }
  }
}
