public class ParentControlDesigner : ControlDesigner

Remarks

System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner provides a base class for designers of controls that can contain child controls. In addition to the methods and functionality inherited from the System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner and System.ComponentModel.Design.ComponentDesigner classes, System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner enables child controls to be added to, removed from, selected within, and arranged within the control whose behavior it extends at design time.

You can associate a designer with a type using a System.ComponentModel.DesignerAttribute. For an overview of customizing design time behavior, see Extending Design-Time Support.
