File 2 :

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="AllocationDuplicate.ascx.cs" Inherits="Controls_AllocationDuplicate" %>
I need the control to inherit from Control, rather than UserControl:
File.aspx.cs (changed):
public partial class Controls_AllocationDuplicate : System.Web.UI.Control
File.aspx (not changed):
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="AllocationDuplicate.ascx.cs" Inherits="Controls_AllocationDuplicate" %>
When i do this, Visual Studio gives a compile error:
  
Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).
How can I have my control inherit from Control rather than UserControl?
Series
This question is one in the ongoing Stackoverflow series, "Templating user controls":
How to add a Templating to a UserControl?
How to inherit from Control, rather than UserControl?
UserControl has IsPostBack, but Control does not
UserControl does not have public property named ContentTemplate
How do i specify CodeFileBaseClass from web.config?
                WHY do you need to inherit from Control instead of UserControl? That's legitimate of course, but from the link you included, I don't understand what you're trying.

                Ahh, it's getting designer support. Understood. Yeah, it's never worked for me either, but then the only time I'm in the Designer is when I go "Oh crap! I accidentally hit the designer button, now I have to wait 5 minutes."
