You can check if the debugger is connected:

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached

There is an IsInDesignMode property that you can use. In some cases, this is not accurate, therefore, you can also check the UsageMode .

public static bool IsRunningInIdeContext
{
    get {
        if (DesignerProperties.IsInDesignMode)
            return true;
        return LicenseManager.UsageMode == LicenseUsageMode.Designtime;
    }
}
