There is an answer but it's not marked, maybe you can try the suggestion and come back with the result of your test.

Answer 2

I believe it will work if you add an "XmlnsDefinition" attribute to the assembly containing the control. By the way, I ran into problems with this when trying to reference the control in the same project.
