During my development, I have a web user control project and another web project which will use the user controls from the web user control project.
So I copy the DocControl.ascx file to my web project and try to use the properties of the DocControl.ascx.
But VS does not know the properties of the control. So when I check the designer.cs, the reference is like that
protected global::System.Web.UI.UserControl Control;
Which should be
protected global::MSN.DocControl Control;
So I changed the name of the control from System.Web.UI.UserControl to MSN.DocControl and I can use the properties of the DocControl.ascx.
But my issue is whenever I modify ( eg. put a lable in aspx) the aspx file, the reference in designer.cs become
protected global::System.Web.UI.UserControl Control;
So I has to change it whenever I modify my aspx.
What should I do so I don’t need to change the designer.cs
Thanks in advance……

Method 1
I have solved it by moving
protected global::MSN.DocControl Control;
from designer.cs to .cs page.
So whenever you made any changes, it will be OK.

Method 2
In my case, it was a bad src path in my register line. This caused no error messages, but would generate the generic control instead of the specific class, with the same symptoms you describe.
I had this (which has the wrong Src path):
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc" TagName="Pipes" Src="/Controls/Pipes.ascx" %> ... <uc:Pipes id="ucPipes" runat="server" />
and it generated this, which is generic, and has none of the control’s properties:
protected global::System.Web.UI.UserControl ucPipes;
When I did the correct path, with Category folder, it worked:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc" TagName="Pipes" Src="/Category/Controls/Pipes.ascx" %> ... <uc:Pipes id="ucPipes" runat="server" />
and generated this correct one, so all properties worked:
protected global::Company.Category.Controls.Pipes ucPipes;
