Loading a user controls in Design View

[Kevin Spencer]

Not sure I understand you fully, but it sounds like you want to build a
custom Designer for your control. If so, see:

Hello All,

I have designed and built a web control that loads a user control at run
time. The question I have is, can I Load the user control in design view?
Any Ideas or code snippets would be really useful.

Thanks a bunch

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your response. The question I asked badly is really about loading
a UserControl in design view.

At runtime my Web Control loads a user control that is specified by one of
it's properties. How do I get the web control to load the User Control when
loaded in the designer ? is this possible??

Cheers

In the designer, nothing gets "loaded." How can something be loaded when the
app isn't running? But you can emulate that by using a custom Designer class
for your control. That's why I gave you the link.
