Copy 
public:
DesignSurface(
	IServiceProvider^ parentProvider,
	Type^ rootComponentType
)

Parameters

parentProvider
Type: System::IServiceProvider^

The parent service provider, or null if there is no parent used to resolve services.

rootComponentType
Type: System::Type^

The type of root component to create.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

ObjectDisposedException

The IDesignerHost attached to the DesignSurface has been disposed.

Using the DesignSurface constructor creates a simple designer loader that creates a component of the given type and then ends the loading process. This is a straightforward way to create a designer, under the assumption that all saving of state will be done externally. Internally, this calls BeginLoad and passes the root component type.
