Run/design time packages

[Peter Morris [Droopy Eyes Software]]

Should I include my designers in the same assembly as my controls? This
seems to me to be a bit of a mix up of purposes. Do you people typically
provide a single assembly with both controls + designers in, or do you
create an additional ".Design" assembly in which you place all of your
designers?

Thanks

The purpose of my assembly is the controls. I want to provide design-time
support for the controls. Some of that support is in the .Design namespace,
so I include types from that namespace in the main assembly.
