More than one custom control in one dll

I followed the "Walkthrough: Authoring a Custom Control for Smart Device Applications" to create a custom control with a design time counterpart

How do I get more than one custom control in a class library dll?

Right now I have a control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.TextBox. I added another class for a control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Label but the design time icons of both controls are grayed out in the toolbox if I add the Label class to the dll project

Is it one assembly/dll per custom control? Because I can't define System.CF.Design.RuntimeAssemblyAttribute more than once

I would like to have group a bunch of controls in a dll to make them more portable.
 
Yes, you can have multiple controls in one assembly.

Move the defintion for System.CF.Design.RuntimeAssemblyAttribute to your
AssemblyInfo.cs.
