To clarify, There are no attributes of that nature.
You can do a runtime check to see if a control is in design mode by looking
at the DesignMode property anywhere except in the constructor but that's
about it.
You can prevent a component from showing up in the toolbox by setting the
ToolboxItem attribute to False but that's not really the same either.
