Webcontrol Designer Awareness...

I've got a webcontrol that has some methods that fire off rendering
javascript to the page etc, that shouldnt be fired off if loaded up in a
designer.

I'd like to know if there is some sort of conditional block I can use to
prevent this code from being run...

Something like

MyWebControl(){

    if(!IsDesigner){
        registerJs();
    }

}

Thanks in advance

You can override the GetDesignTimeHTML method. This is where you specify
what is rendered in the designer. As opposed to RenderContents which gets
your application output.

What code are you using to render the script?

If you are in a webcontrol, you can use this code:

public bool IsDesign
        {
            get
            {
                if((this.Site != null && this.Site.DesignMode) || (this.Page != null &&
this.Page.Site != null && this.Page.Site.DesignMode))
                    return true;
                return false;
            }
        }
