How to properly change the name of a Blazor component (razor file)

I have a problem I´m a little irritated with: Let´s say I have a Blazor component MyCustomComponent.razor which is located at ProjectName.Client.Shared. Now I can use it in my code like this:

<MyCustomComponent></MyCustomComponent>.

But as soon as I rename that component via right click on MyCustomComponent.razor to for example MyFirstCustomComponent.razor, still only the old component name appears in IntelliSense and the new one doesn´t get recognized. This error message appears:

Found markup element with unexpected name 'MyFirstCustomComponent.razor'. If this is intended to be a component, add a @using directive for its namespace.

Even if I do a full rebuild, nothing happens.

My current solution is to delete the old component and to create a new component with the new name, but that´s not really a good way to do this in my opinion.

Is there a place where I also have to change the old name to the new name in some other file? I couldn´t find any appearance of the old component name in my code after renaming, but it was still somehow there to select from IntelliSense...

My visual studio does this as well, however usually after closing all the affected files from the editing window intellisense catches up. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, I just carry on working till it clears. Maybe try rebuilding the cache, which will then make it act 'normal' going forward?

It sounds like the Intellisense database is corrupted. The easiest thing to do is to rebuild it.

This is what I do:

  1. Close solution and exit Visual Studio
  2. Delete the *.suo file in the .vs folder
  3. Restart Visual Studio and reopen solution

The Intellisense database will be rebuilt.
