Would it be possible for someone to update the WebControls project?

The install package for DNN 4.5 has a Debug compiled version of DotNetNuke.WebControls.dll which slows down performance in production.

If I go directly to the WebControls project download it is an older version that will not work with DNN 4.5 (and it is also compiled in Debug anyway).

If I try to compile the webcontrols source from the source version of DNN 4.5, it is also an older version and will not work with DNN 4.5.

I will be releasing v1.5.3 shortly and it will be posted to sourceforge.  Details on this version will be out in a blog probably tonight.

It is true that the version was compiled in debug.  I am not understanding your compatibility issues though...  remember that webcontrols still support v1.x of the framework.  Therefore it needs to only reference dlls compiled against 1.x (WebUtility.dll).

I just got back from vacation and recently started a new job, which hopefully gives a little explanation to my delayed responses to the forums and emails.
