UserControl DesignMode

[Jeff]

I need to be able to determine wheter or not my UserControl is in DesignMode
inside the constructor. It seems that this property is not set until
sometime after the constructor has exited because it is always set to false
inside the constructor.

Is there something I am doing wrong or something else I can check to
determine wheter or not it is in design mode?

Thanks!

Jeff,

When the constructor is called, the site for the control hasn't been set
yet, so this is why the design mode property has not been set.

I would override the Site property (specifically, the setter). When it
is set, you can check the design mode property to see if your control is in
design mode.

Hope this helps.

Yes, overriding the site property works. Thanks Nicholas.
