The designer host calls the BaseDataListDesigner.Initialize(System.ComponentModel.IComponent) method when it is ready to use the designer to render the control that is derived from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseDataList class. The BaseDataListDesigner.Initialize(System.ComponentModel.IComponent) method and its base methods configure properties and connect to events that are necessary for the operation of the designer.

The BaseDataListDesigner.Initialize(System.ComponentModel.IComponent) connects to the design-time data source and updates the design-time markup. If the System.ComponentModel.IComponent.Site property implements the System.ComponentModel.Design.IComponentChangeService interface, the BaseDataListDesigner.Initialize(System.ComponentModel.IComponent) connects the System.ComponentModel.Design.IComponentChangeService.ComponentAdded, System.ComponentModel.Design.IComponentChangeService.ComponentRemoving, and System.ComponentModel.Design.IComponentChangeService.ComponentRemoved events.

The component parameter is the control, derived from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseDataList, that is associated with this designer, or a copy of that control.
