I created a user control, some of the controls that it contains make a remote
call to get data. If the remote service is not up and running, the control
won't display in any form I put it in.

In the constructor I have:

ScreenHelper.LoadProjectSelect(selProject);
ScreenHelper.LoadDamSelect(selDam);
ScreenHelper.LoadLicenseTypeSelect(selLicenseType);
ScreenHelper.LoadLicenseStatusSelect(selLicenseStatus);
ScreenHelper.LoadLicenseeTypeSelect(selLicenseeType);

If I comment these out, the control will load in any form it is placed.

Any ideas how I can always get the control to display in the designer?

Thanks,
Don

perhaps you want those lines to be executed at runtime only. in that case,
try the onload eventhandler which tests for the control's designmode
property to distinguish runtime and designtime.

Onload:
if (this.DesignMode)
{
//your method calls
}
