Visual studio designer hangs and fails to load ToolStripControlHost derived class

I found a problem using a ToolStripControlHost derived class when the class is being built in the same solution as the form that uses the component.

When performing a rebuild the designer would freeze and wouldn't redraw the toolbar. The fix I discovered solves the problem where the designer disposes the object and then attempts to access it after the rebuild.

public class CustomButtonToolStripHost : ToolStripControlHost
{
public CustomButtonToolStripHost ()
: base(CustomToolStripButton())
{
}
///

Used to overcome a designer error when rebuilding the project.

private class CustomToolStripButton : Button // Replace with your control
{
///

Override CreateHandle to avoid exception if called when object is disposed.
/// This occurs when the designer updates after a rebuild.

protected override void CreateHandle()
{
if (!IsDisposed)
{
base.CreateHandle();
}
}
}
}
