File 'PATH\bin\Release\APPNAME\Controls\xyz.xaml' could not be found

Question

I created a new class library for windows store apps and within this library I created a Usercontrol in a folder named 'Controls'.

I use this class library in another project (especially this controls mentioned above) and everytime I try to run this project a weird error occurs:

"Payload file 'C:\\PATH TO CLASSLIBRARY FOLDER\\bin\\Release\\LIBRARYNAME\\Controls\\Usercontrol.xaml' could not be found"

So I opened my library's folder and looked up this path. The path described in the error message does not exists but if you would replace \\bin\\Release\\LIBRARYNAME\\Controls\\Usercontrol.xaml with \\bin\\Release\\Controls\\Usercontrol.xaml then there is the wanted file. Then I simply copied the \\Controls\\ folder containing Usercontrol.xaml and pasted it into the newly created folder \\LIBRARYNAME\\Controls\\Usercontrol.xaml . Now this error doesn't occur anymore but I don't want to do this copy-paste action everytime I modify Usercontrol.xaml?!

Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a way to avoid my inconvenient solution? Thanks for help! :)

After doing some further researching with the exacty english error message (worked with german vs2012 by then) it seems that this is a bug in Visual Studio.
