Adding user control to ASP.NET webform, but don't want it to declare itself in designer file

Does anybody know if it's possible to add a user control to a web form in Visual Studio 2008, but to not have its declaration added to the designer file?

Use can use Page.LoadControl, examples in both links:

void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Instantiate the UserControl object
    MyControl myControl1 =
        (MyControl)LoadControl("TempControl_Samples1.ascx.cs");
    PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl1);
}

A Good Example of Asp.net LoadControl with multiple parameters

The answer to my issue was to develop the form outside of Visual Studio.

As long as you know the path of the control (either programatically or from DB/config) you can do 

Page.Controls.Add("pathToYourControl");
