You can fake your own shown method by using the Paint event of the usercontrol:

public UserControl1() {
  InitializeComponent();
}

public event EventHandler Shown;
private bool wasShown = false;

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
  base.OnPaint(e);
  if (!wasShown) {
    wasShown = true;
    if (Shown != null) {
      Shown(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
  }
}
