Remarks
The BrowserDesignMode property is available only at run time. The BrowserDesignMode property can be useful if the Web Part does not display a user interface when viewed at browse time, but needs to display a user interface while being edited. It is also useful to avoid unnecessary work when properties and layout changes are being applied, as these changes can cause many postbacks to the server. The value of the BrowserDesignMode property is available during or after the System.Web.UI.Control.PreRender event occurs.
