how to tell when in design mode in .NET 2.0

in 1.1 I did if DesignMode = true to check this, but in 2005 it seems to
just skip right over that and run the code I dont want to run in design
mode, anyone else have this problem? any solutions to it?

AFAIK it should still work. Are you certain that DesignMode is returning
true or is it that you expect it to return true? What does the Site property
return? If it's non-null, then you could check if the ISite.DesignMod e
property is returning the same value as the DesignMode property.

I have a need to open a report in design mode immediately before opening it in preview, to change the Minimum and Maximum scale on an axis on a chart. This results in a flash of the report in design mode just before it is opened in preview mode. Is there any way to open it in design mode hidden? Jeff

Hey guys: What can I do when an "Error Creating Control" is displayed on the form (instead of the control), and a tooltip indicating the error never is displayed? Is there some log, some hidden message, some entry in registry where a log is created (or that enables a log, trace, dump or whatever)... I'm a little bit frustated with this error :-( Tks, Ravi.

I want to start a timer when an object loads, so I put the code to start it in the constructor. The problem I am having is that when I put the object on a form in development it starts the timer. Is there a way to get this so that it doesn't run unless the program has actually started?

Hello, for a large web site project we would like to use nested Master Pages. Unfortunely VS2005 is not able to show pages in design mode when nested Master pages are used. This has the consequence that also each content page cannot be used in design mode. It is impossible to design hundrets of pages in source mode without design

Visual C# 2005 Express Edition crashes the instant I attempt to view any class in design mode, or just switch the program to design mode (shift-F7). I have tried reinstalling, closing all other non-critical processes, safe mode, restarts and attempting to try design mode on other solutions, all to no effect. The program just comes up with an illegal operation as soon as design mode is supposed to start.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
