Public summary
Renaming a custom control class in the Solution navigator does not update existing designer instances of that control on windows. The window layout keeps the old control type, so Analyse reports errors such as Unknown type 'L1'. Did you mean 'L2'?. Studio should update placed designer controls from the old class name to the new class name during the rename.
