Hi there,

I have a class that implements IComponent. When I drop this component from
the toolbox onto the form, I get a null exception while trying to access the
'Site.DesignMode property'. Site object seems to be null.

I believe my error should be pretty obvious (I must be missing something),
but I've tried dozens of code changes to no avail. Can't find a useful
example so I post a code excerpt here:

namespace Spaces
{
[DesignerAttribute(typeof(CustomerList.MyDesigner))]
public class CustomerList : BindingList<Customers>, IComponent
{
private ISite mSite;
public event EventHandler Disposed;
Persister pers;

public CustomerList()
{
 if (!this.Site.DesignMode) <== null exception here
 {
  // This should not run when adding the component to the form:
  pers = new Persister(this, GetSchema());
  Initialize();
 }
}

internal class MyDesigner : System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner
{
 MyDesigner() { }
 public override void Initialize(IComponent component) {
base.Initialize(component); }
}

...more class code
}
}

I appreciate any help.

Regards,
