Do you have a function named getBlockTypeName() in your Block Controller?

No.. Below im pasting my controller.php code.

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
class ProductLinksBlockController extends BlockController {
   protected $btName = 'Product Detail Links';
   protected $btDescription = 'Links for the product details page.';
   protected $btTable = 'btDCProductLinks';
   protected $btInterfaceWidth = "700";
   protected $btInterfaceHeight = "450";
   protected $btCacheBlockRecord = true;
   protected $btCacheBlockOutput = true;
   protected $btCacheBlockOutputOnPost = true;
   protected $btCacheBlockOutputForRegisteredUsers = false;
   protected $btCacheBlockOutputLifetime = CACHE_LIFETIME;
   public function getSearchableContent() {
      return $this->field_1_textbox_text;
   }

Do you have Caching enabled in your site settings? If so, you could try to disable it, clear your cache and comment out the cache related Block configuration options while developing.

After updating the Block controller btName property, or, if the controller explicitly defines the name using the getBlockTypeName function, in Dashboard, go to Block Types list, click on the Block, then click Refresh. Go back to the Block Types list and the Block name will be updated. All Blocks throughout the site will be updated.

This one worked for me... Thanks for your valuable time...
