Winforms: Why do events fire at design-time?

Question

Why are messages displayed at design-time?

My code is :

class Class1 : TextBox
{
    public Class1()
    {
        this.Resize += new EventHandler(Class1_Resize);
    }

    void Class1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Resize");
    }
}

Because that's the way the Form designer works. It's actually instantiating your control when it displays it in your form at design-time. Thus when you resize the control in the designer, your code for the message box fires.
