in 1.1 I did if DesignMode = true to check this, but in 2005 it seems to
just skip right over that and run the code I dont want to run in design
mode, anyone else have this problem? any solutions to it?

AFAIK it should still work. Are you certain that DesignMode is returning
true or is it that you expect it to return true? What does the Site property
return? If it's non-null, then you could check if the ISite.DesignMode
property is returning the same value as the DesignMode property.
