How do I embed a user control in a DLL?

How can I embed a user control in a DLL?

Ideally, I would still be able to define the control's markup in an ascx file, but if I understand correctly you cannot embed template files into DLLs.

Take a look at this article

It is a little hackish, essentially you need to publish your website as a an unupdatable site. Then grab the web dll from the output and reuse that in your real web project.

I'd probably just go the route of creating Server Controls. These will be easier to maintain.
