DesignerAttribute problem

Hi all
I'm working in VB.NET.

I have one solution (controls and components) that contains two projects: one with the designers (all inherited from ControlDesigner) and another project with the controls and the components.
Before splitting mu project into two different projects, I was working on a single assembly (project) containing both designers and controls, amd Designer was specified this way:
DesignerAttribute(GetType(MyControlDesigner))

After moving my designers to a new project, I specified control's designers attribute this way:
DesignerAttribute("MyNamespace.Designers.MyControlDesigner, MyDesignerAssembly.Design, Culture=neutral")

Unfortunately, designers are not resolved when I test my controls in a WinForms test project. Both main assembly (controls) and designers assembly are correctly copied to the Debug folder of my test project, but controls are working without a designer yet!

In other words: how literal (string) references are resolved for DesignerAttribute?
Same problem with TypeConverters and TypeEditors...

What I'm missing?

Thank you
.
