Hi,

Can someone tell me what is the user control life cycle when its dropped in
to a visual studio designer? I mean, I have a new windows application project
created in visual studio 2005 and a new form added. Now I create a new user
control extending it from UserControl. Add few properties in user control and
few events. Now when I drop this user control in form, i want to know what
designer does to display it on the form and what event's would be fired and
which events wouldn't fire .

Reason of asking such question is, I have a user control and when i drop it
on a form, it fires its load event and I was under impression, it would not
fire load event when control is in design mode. It must fire it when its in
RunMode. I do check DesignMode property but it seems like its not giving me
right value. Or do i have to implement any other interface with user control
to make DesignMode property work in right way?

Thanks,

Hiten
