Control in Runtime vs Designtime

[Johnny Jörgensen]

I would like to be able to tell whether my component code is executed when I
instanciate a control in runtime or in designtime.

Can anybody give me a clua as to how you can do that?

Cheers,

Check the control's DesignMode property (Me.Designmode). It is true, if the
designer instanciates the control in order to put it onto a Form to be
designed.

use the DesignMode - Property

Control ctrl = new Control();
if (ctrl.DesignMode)
{
//is in designMode
}

Thanks both of you - It was much simpler than I had expected... ;-)
