I'm using VS 2010. Is there a way to "deploy" a user control and it's code behind in a sort of binary (.ocx like) way so that I can just reference it from other projects and the html/code behind can't be edited?

It should be possible (though not recommended) if you place .NET code into ASCX markup itself inside of <script runat="server"></script>
tags.

As ps2goat said, what you want are custom server controls. That being said, there is a way to create them from standard ascx controls with only some extra effort.

No, you either cut and paste or look into using custom Server Controls. The custom server controls are basically a way of building the same .ascx style controls but doing it all in code without a UI portion. If done correctly, you can still have a UI drag and drop interface for your controls.
