Subclassed control in projected doesn't show up in toolbox

I'm currently working on an assembly that has both forms and controls
in it.

When I create a new control based on UserControl and compile, it shows
up in the toolbox for all forms in this assembly.

When I create a subclassed control (from label in this case), it does
not show up in the toolbox.

I understand you can add it through Add/Remove Items... but then I'm
adding a reference to itself and I get all kinds multiple declaration
errors. I also understand that you can remove the reference after
you're done designing and it all works. This, however, is a pain
because the reference gets added everytime you add the control to a
form. I could deal with this but this control needs to be distributed
within the company to 30 - 50 other developers.

How do I see subclassed controls in the toolbox for the current
assembly without adding a reference to itself?

Thanks,

Corey.
 
Holy smokes.. anybody out there got some info on this bad boy? Or is
this the wrong group to be posting this question to...
 
"Hello... hello... hello
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home"

Updated issue: Even when you remove the reference, the assembly stays
in memory once the designer has been opened. I have to shut down VS and
open again to do a full compile.
