do we know that the designer in visual studio behaves as if it can call
these methods?  The designers of course have to use reflection to find
the methods, but in the other cases these methods aren't private.  If
visual studio behaves as if the methods are there, we have another piece
(besides the msdn docs and corcompare output) we need to look at to see
which methods needs implementing.
