There is a way, though not recommended (depending on the complexity of your application). Make sure you've got a full backup of your project before trying this.

1. With your project still open, close all open files and hit Ctrl + H.
2. In Find what enter the fully qualified name of the control to replace.
3. In Replace with enter the fully qualified name of the custom control.
4. Set Look in to Current Project.
5. Check Match case and Match whole word.
6. Click Replace All button.
