I spoke too soon: the changed behavior from v1.1/VS2003 is not that GetView() and SupportedTechnologies don't get called. They just
get called later.

Here's a somewhat more detailed code snippet:

[
Designer(typeof(WizardRootDesigner), typeof(IRootDesigner)),
]
public class Wizard : System.ComponentModel.Component, IPageInfoCollection
{
    //...implementation details
}

public class WizardRootDesigner : ComponentDocumentDesigner, IRootDesigner
{
    public override void Initialize( IComponent component )
    {
        base.Initialize(component);

        chgSvc = (IComponentChangeService) GetService(typeof(IComponentChangeService));
        if( chgSvc != null )
            chgSvc.ComponentAdded += new ComponentEventHandler(chgSvc_ComponentAdded);
        else isValid = false;

        desHost = (IDesignerHost) GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost));
        if( desHost != null )
            desHost.LoadComplete += new EventHandler(desHost_LoadComplete);
        else isValid = false;

        if( !isValid )
            MessageBox.Show(null, @"The designer interface could not be established.", "User Alert");
    }

    //...other stuff

    public object GetView(System.ComponentModel.Design.ViewTechnology technology)
    {
        if( theView == null ) theView = new WizardDesignerViewHost();
        return theView;
    }

    public System.ComponentModel.Design.ViewTechnology[] SupportedTechnologies
    {
        get
        {
            return new ViewTechnology[] { ViewTechnology.Default };
        }
    }

    private void desHost_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        isLoading = false;

        // theView isn't initialized by this point under v2/VS2005, but it is under v1.1/VS2003
        theView.ViewControl = new UserControl();
        // ... other stuff
    }
}

The changed behavior between v1.1/VS2003 and v2/VS2005 is that the IDesignerHost.LoadComplete event fires earlier under v2/VS2005.
Specifically, it fires before the calls to IRootDesigner.GetView() and IRootDesigner.SupportedTechnologies are called.

Can someone explain to me why this behavior was changed, and where I can find the documentation for any other related changes? I
didn't see anything in the v2 help file.
