What does it mean when your class file shows a piece of paper with three dots to bottom left hand corner? Originally it shows VB as the icon?

In the solution explorer where the class file is, it originally showed vb as the icon in front of the class. After I placed my modified code into the class designer code section it changed to a paper with three dots at the bottom lefthand corner. Why would this icon change and what does it mean?

What I have tried:

Not much since I do not know what this means or what it is called. Figured if I had more information about it I can make an educated guess on how to fix it.

Does the program still work?

No, and yes. My program is built in a 64-bit environment. However, when making a class to use as a control, the control only works in a 32-bit environment. If I try to place it on a form in my program it keeps disappearing and keeps getting removed from the toolbox. I thought I removed all 32-bit components of the code, but it still only works with a 32-bit environment.

What's broken? Who cares what the icon is?
