This is not a Windows Form Designer problem, right?

I think you can use the Registration-Free COM way do this, store the register needed information in the manifest:

And this would give you the help to generate the SxS manifest: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/28682/regsvr42-Generate-SxS-Manifest-Files-from-Native-D

If you got any problem when using the SxS, then these documents maybe can give you the helps:
