Visual Studio looses references to custom user contorls

I have a.net custom user control that I add as a reference to the project, then add the item to the toolbox. This allows me to see the designer of forms that use the control.
The project is held in visual SourceSafe. Everytime I do a 'get latest' on the project my project forgets where the dll for my usercontrol was. I have to re-add the reference and then re-add it to the toolbox before I can view the designers. (the project builds fine before re-adding references, but no diesigners can be viewed)

Why does it forget this every time? Is there someway to fix this, its also a problem when one user adds a new contorl then other users on the project get latest and its broken for them.

Is there a local file that hold what controls i've added during a project and maybe that file isnt being put into source safe? I'm sorry this question is so long winded but I'm unsure of what could be causing the issue.

we are using 2005.

I gues there is really 2 issues here:

1. when i get latest my project forgets to add my custom user controls

2. when i add a custom user control and check it in others who get latest on the project get errors when loading the designer untill they manually add the new control to their toolbox
