Issue description

Hi, I'm from DevExpress. Our users encountered an issue where some of our components are not displayed in WinForms .NET OOP DesignTime. In our .NET Standard 2.0 libraries, we have custom inheritors of the Component class. This issue started in Visual Studio v17.8 (or earlier). After a little research, it appears to be related to the following tab: https://github.com/microsoft/winforms-designer/pull/5231/. To demonstrate the issue, we created a small example.

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce it, follow these steps.

  1. Download and unzip NetStandardProblem.zip.
  2. Open the designer Form1.cs.
  3. Make sure that MyComponent from ClassLibrary1 is not displayed in the toolbox. image2

We can repro it in 17.8.0 and the latest 17.9 build.

Thanks for the issue - we're working on some improvements in the ToolBox and it looks like this scenario may have regressed. @KlausLoeffelmann to take the first look. @Olina-Zhang can you please create an issue in the internal designer repo and assign @KlausLoeffelmann?
