Because the UsePreviewControl property is always true, the designer uses a View control that contains a temporary copy of the associated BulletedList control to generate the design-time markup. The View control does not affect any persistence for the BulletedList. If the UsePreviewControl property were to return false, the designer would use the associated BulletedList itself to generate the design-time markup.
Notes to Inheritors You can override the UsePreviewControl property to return false or to determine its value based on whether the control is marked with a class-level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute object. If the UsePreviewControl property is not overridden, the BulletedListDesigner object ignores the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute.Windows 98, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Starter Edition
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see System Requirements.
