Hi, I am programatically trying to detect when a Component (System.ComponentModel.Component) or Control is dropped or removed from the form in a C# WinForm project. I know the action goes on in the InitializeComponent method. Something seems to trigger exactly when the new keyword appears in front of the Component (i.e. That's when it gets Property Grid and designer). I have spent all day in System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner and such. I see ComponentEventArgs for ComponentAdded. Then there are attributes. Basically, how does the IDE VS.NET "know" when a Component or Control is added and to give it property grid and designer support? In other words, if I new one up there in that section of code, it just "knows." How? And how can I "know"?
