Custom Control Debugging - Design Time!

Greetings & Salutations,
I have already scanned the posts for my problem & have found a couple that
deal with problems that have the exact same symptoms as mine, however the
solutions do not work for me.
I am trying to debug a web custom control. (Sorry did I just hear you groan?)
I am using VS2003 and have setup two projects in the same solution, one
being the web control library, and the other being an ASP.NET web application
(for testing of the controls).
I have added a project reference to the web application for the controls &
created three controls in the library. One control is fully functional and is
a simple composite control. One control is still under development but is in
a 'dormant' state, (ie, it won't do anything, but it is kind enough to
function like an empty read-only label control), this control is never used
at this stage.
The third control is a template control (though it is NOT data bound) and
because it is pre-alpha I have put the control, template container and
designer classes all in the one source file. (I don't think it will make a
difference, but being MS I thought I'd mention it)
In the solutions mentioned in a couple of posts an MVP has mentioned that
this project setup should allow me to set breakpoints in my control & debug
in design time.
Unfortunately, I can set as many debug breakpoints in the designer class as
I want and the IDE simply ignores them all. I get the feeling that the IDE
does not do ANYTHING related to debugging as I cannot even get Debug.Write to
work (I get absolutely no output anywhere, and I even ended up opening as
many 'View' windows as I could(Output/CommandWindow/etc)).
Has someone come up with a workable procedure for custom control design-time
debugging? Where would I be able to find references to such 'Help' media? Or
have I made a big booboo somewhere?
Thank you.
