According to MSDN:

Just because your parent is disposing, doesn't mean your child control is currently disposing. It could happen later, it could have already happened. In most cases a Dispose runs that quickly that you will never pick up the "true" flag.
The other possibility is that you have a memory leak and the control is never disposed of. The Garbage Collector might come and get it at some point, but best to be sure.
Yes. I got it.
It will be true in the disposing event of base control. I have checked the MSDN implementation. In Dispose() method of Control class, the property is set as true in disposing code block and it is reset to false after disposed.
