    exception thrown when using dll files I compiled

    Hi guys, I have 4.5.2 installed and running fine, using the regular installer package from codeplex. When I download and compile revision 900 from the codeplex repository, then copy the dll files into my working installation, then when I load the site, it navigates to the installer page, and then throws an exception. Do you have to do something special to use custom compiled dll files in a site installed w/ the regular insaller package?

    Hi Rafe

    Can you desribe the steps you take when creating and compiling your project? Have you remembered to reference the neccesary Umbraco dll files?

    I think a snippet of your code could make it more easy to help you out.

    Hi Rafe, 

    I would backup your current install then copy everything if you have from the compiled install over. You will maybe find a last minute tweak or something like that is missing out and it would rule out any other oddness going forward. I would probably not mix the two. ;) Mixing leads to bad hangovers ;)

    Hi Rafe

    Just a small note, that probably won't solve the issue: Have you made sure that you are compiling against the same .NET version as the version your site is running?

    It actually turned out that I was using the wrong revision from the repository. I reverted back  to the revision marked 4.5.2 and everything works fine now.
