ControlDesigner::Invalidate Method
Visual Studio 2010
Invalidates the whole area of the control that is displayed on the design surface and signals the control designer to redraw the control.
Assembly: System.Design (in System.Design.dll)
To enable the control designer to handle paint events, use the SetViewFlags method in the Initialize method.
The Invalidate method provides the design host with a way to instruct the control designer to redraw the control. Essentially, this is the same as calling UpdateDesignTimeHtml method, because it causes the whole control to be redrawn.
