I'm new to Umbraco (known about it for about 48 hours now) and trying to get
it running from a source code build (Umbraco_6202) on Windows Vista using VS
2008 and .Net 3.5. I've had to fight through a few issues to get it
operational... Using the .net 3.5 config file worked for me for the release
version of Umbraco but not when running from source so I ended up replacing the
System.Web.Extensions assembly with the .net 3.5 one directly. Also, .net 3.5
has its own Action class in the System namespace within Corelib so I had to
default the Action class to Umbraco's. And finally, the source code build of
Umbraco operates better from Cassini than it seems to run from IIS 7. Here is
my issue...
When running the source build the Umbraco control panel is unresponsive. The
control panel will display the content node with no children but nothing else.
Attempting to go to Settings (or anywhere else) results in a Jscript XHR error
in jquery. In attempting to create a node, the content node can be clicked but
the selection is never acknowledged so I’m unable to proceed to selecting the
document type.
Running from the latest release version using the same database works
flawlessly. Any ideas what the issue could be?

When you start using Umbraco I suggest that you use the Binaries instead of the source code. The install process is documented so you don't run into issues. With Umbraco you don't need the source code if you want to extend it to your needs, there is always an event or an interface that lets you customize Umbraco.
Thanks for your reply. I've been able to use Umbraco flawlessly from the binaries. That is what I was refering to when I mentioned the release versions. However, to gain approval to use Umbraco (or any other open source products) in our environment we must be able to fully analyze and test the source for security purposes. I'm currently performing an analysis of several .NET based CMS products to determine which would meet and then best suit our requirements with minimal modification. So, it would actually be a huge advantage for us to be able to analyze and demonstrate Umbraco running from its source code.
Again, the problem does seem to be related to how jquery AJAX calls are being wired. I'll be digging into the source a little more over the next couple of days. I'm sure that I could identify whatever the issue is given sufficient time but unfortunately, the amount of time I've been given to devote to this is somewhat limited so I'm seeking assistance.
I'm sure the developers/contributors test Umbraco from the source. How is the environment configured for this? I figure I simply must have my environment configured improperly.
