In my Windows Designer host implementation,

The top Control's

Control.Controls does have all the child controls

but for Child control's

Control.Parent is set to {System.Windows.Forms.Design.DesignerFrame+OverlayControl}

Am I doing something wrong?

How to find who is the actual parent of the control while in design mode?
