Sharepoint webparts - Custom user control generated as base UserControl in the .designer.cs file

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to develop a web part for Sharepoint 2010.

I've created a user control which I want to include in my web part. However, when I drop the user control in MyWebPart.ascx (in design view) it gets generated as follows in the MyWebPart.ascx.designer.cs:

protected global::System.Web.UI.UserControl customUserControl;

instead of:

protected global::FullNamespace.ControlTemplates.MyUserControl customUserControl;

It works, but I need to cast customUserControl to the concrete MyUserControl in the code behind (e.g. if want to set some of its properties in the PageLoad event).

How do I fix this?

So far, my solution is declare protected global::FullNamespace.ControlTemplates.MyUserControl customUserControl in yourpage.cs. So it can get the actual type correctly.

The is easiest "solution" I think. However I still feel ugly and weird.

If you've got a better solution, please share it with me.
