User Controls and Microsoft Graph

Question

I am attempting to create a user control in Visual Studio 2019 using C#. Place the authentication portion of my code into the <control>_load.
On attempting to drag the control to my form, I get a "Failed To Create Component...". In a form or in dll it seems to work. Is using Microsoft Graph in a user control something we should not do?

Here a snippet of the control code:

 private async void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            confidentialClientApplication = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder  
                .Create(ClientId)  
                .WithTenantId(Tenant)  
                .WithClientSecret(cSecret)  
                .Build();  
            authProvider = new ClientCredentialProvider(confidentialClientApplication);  
  
  
            NoteBookHandler = GraphClientFactory.CreateDefaultHandlers(authProvider);  
            OutlookHttpClient = GraphClientFactory.Create(authProvider);  
            OutlookClient = new GraphServiceClient(OutlookHttpClient);  
  
            object MyFolders = await OutlookClient.Users["gerry.eigo@cga.ct.gov"].MailFolders.Request().Top(100).GetAsync();![73499-msgrapherror1.jpg][1]  
       }  

Also, attached is an image of the error.

Hi EigoGerry-5512,
I am afraid that Microsoft Graph is not yet supported in user control.
And here are some useful links you can refer to.

Try using if(!DesignMode) to exclude portions of code that cannot be executed at design stage.
