C# Winforms designer crashes visual studio when opening the designer window

I've been dealing with this problem for awhile now and haven't managed to progress any further for the past few hours so I thought I'll ask here. When I'm opening the designer window in winforms I get to this error screen. Which after about 5 to 10 seconds freezes my Visual Studio and then crashes and reopens automatically. When this happens I can go to my event viewer and find the following two error messages

Level Error:

The error message explains that your form during it's instantiation process (in constructor or somewhere called from there) is trying to access a ActionLogService.IActionLogService which is not available. If you click on Show Call Stack link you will see where is that code line.

I would open the code file without designer support, go to that line and change it like this:

if (!this.DesignMode) 
{
   // here comes the original ActionLogService lines
}
else
{
   // here optionally could be something mocking the ActionLogService during design time
}

E.g. I have a dialog with a dynamic list of actually available choices calculated and returned by a webservice call. During design time I do not want the webservice to be available but wanted to see some dummy values instead in the list. Here it is:

List<string> availableChoices;
if (!this.DesignMode)
{
   availableChoices = GetAvailableChoicesFromWebserviceCall();
}
else
{
   availableChoices = new List<string>() { "dummyDesignTimeOption1", "dummyDesignTimeOption2" };
}
