I agree with the Solution from Phil.O - but a question :
When you have a Solution for the Form itself - why don't you do the same for the UserControl ? Both are Containers which hold Controls in it's ControlCollection ...

You do not serialize the controls themselves, you just serialize the information needed to (re)build them.

Thanks Maciej :)
I'm not sure it is sufficient for OP, though; kind of lacking some concrete info here.
