Detect, in code behind, that i'm in the designer

capedica

Hi, i'd like to know if there is a way to detect if i'm running the report from the designer.
For example, using a preprocessor directives:
#if DESIGNER
// Initialize some variables to default value
// Show some message boxes
#endif

or maybe there is a static variable.
Is there a way?
Thank you very much.

It was very simple, just some reflection:

if (System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name == "Designer")
{
   MessageBox.Show("Inside the designer");
}
