Is there a way to determine when a Component or a Control is being created in a designer as opposed
to a runtime app from within the constructor?

I think I can probably check DesignMode in the OnLoad() method of a Control... but Components don't
have OnLoad() methods.

Actually, there's an even easier method: LicenseManager.UsageContext.
