I am trying to do something that was easy to do in the 3.x versions, but has become rather difficult for me to figure out now.

I am following the installation instructions with the Virtual directory, etc. And I get the website up and running fine. No problems.

The next thing I want to do is compile in a custom skin object that I wrote in 3.x. I did this basically by copying another skin object, changing what I needed, and compiling the main solution in the root directory of 3.x. Worked like a charm.

The problems I am running into in 4.x are:

1. The solution file in the root of the source install includes the website, and builds cleanly. But doesn't actually ever seem to really "Build" the website. Any changes I make to the .ascx file I created don't seem to take, even changes I make to the existing skin objects don't error, but don't seem to compile either. I did go into properties and noticed that the solution has the build option unchecked, but even checking that makes no difference.

2. When trying to do step through debugging, I get the message stating that my breakpoints won't be hit because no symbols are loaded for the project.

I am hoping I am missing something basic, otherwise I can tuck my tail and head back down to 3.x versions for this project, I just had high hopes of finally upgrading to 4.0.
