So I've built several custom controls - which I compile and then in my main project I put in the reference and Voila - it all works as expected. I take this approach for items in my project that I will either reuse - or for organizational purposes.
My problem is that if an error occurs inside one of these controls Visual Studio is very very clever - and opens the source code to my control and shows me exactly where the error is. That is no problem - and in fact is very helpful and cool. But... I have about 10 of these that I've created and it isn't clear on the tabs that some of them are for source code that is NOT part of my main project. It lets me edit it, and run the app - but it never compiles the control - and so the same error occurs, but now on the wrong line (ostensibly because the line that it really occurred on has now moved). This is kind of confusing and messy. Is there a way to tell visual studio to go ahead and bring in the source, but to keep it read-only?
