DesignerLoader Class
Provides a basic designer loader interface that can be used to implement a custom designer loader.
System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization::DesignerLoader
System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization::BasicDesignerLoader
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The DesignerLoader type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | BeginLoad | Begins loading a designer. |
![]() | Dispose | Releases all resources used by the DesignerLoader. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Flush | Writes cached changes to the location that the designer was loaded from. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
DesignerLoader can be implemented to support custom loading of a designer and designer components. A designer loader is also responsible for writing changes to an open document back to the storage the loader used when loading the document after the Flush method is called.
By default, the Visual Studio development environment creates its own variety of DesignerLoader that can load basic designer projects. To create a custom designer loader, you must inherit from and implement the abstract DesignerLoader class. You cannot directly instantiate DesignerLoader, as it has no public constructor.
When BeginLoad is invoked, the designer loader loads the design document, displays the designer surface using the IDesignerHost interface, and calls EndLoad on the IDesignerLoaderHost interface when done. The IDesignerLoaderHost implementation is usually the same class that implements IDesignerHost.

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser).
