Is there a design-time flag?

[popman]

If a public property is Browsable,it will appear in vs.net 's designer's
property window.and the code in that property will be run either.But I don't
want the code to be run at design-time.Is there a design-time flag,so the
code can be skip at design-time? like

if not #design-time then
..........
..........
end if

Thanks.

Unfortunatly, there doesn't seem to be one.

One way I have seen it done, and what seems to work for me, is to check if
Context is null (Nothing in VB.NET)

if (Context != null )
// Do this

If (Not Context Is Nothing) Then
' Do that
End If

// in C#...
if ((this.Site != null) && (this.Site.DesignMode)) {
// we're in design mode
}
