How do I prevent DevExpress POCOViewModel design-time from calling bound web services?

I have a DevExpress POCOViewModel containing the following property declaration:

public virtual List<Group> Groups
{
    get
    {
        return api.GetGroups();
    }
}

The virtual List<Group> property is bound as the ItemSource for a ComboBox, and the api.GetGroups() method calls an external web service. When I'm making changes in design time, the api method is called.

Is there any way to avoid this? Am I using the MVVM pattern incorrectly?
