I HATE upgrading Sitefinity
I've been using this product since v4.0 and I've endured pain and heartache with every upgrade I've attempted. 5.0 -> 5.1 is no exception.
I dunno, maybe I'm just unlucky. Maybe I'm just dumb, but whatever the reason, after following each step of the upgrade process in the docs quite carefully, I get to the end, rebuild the project and run it and get this...

I'm kind to people and dogs. I don't deserve this.
Hi Stuart,
For what it's worth: I upgraded two 4.3 websites without problems. I think it becomes nasty when you have your own custom modules. Is that the case?
I didn't had this exception before, only in a Lightswitch project with a reference to Telerik's Silverlight components, so maybe the RadControls are not referenced right?
Just giving some thoughts...

That's the worse bit; there's sod all in it.
I have all of my widgets in separate assembly, and I ALWAYS forget that I need to update the references in it (to reflect the changed versions of source dlls in the upgraded site) and recompile the assembly before starting the upgraded site... resulting in a heart-stopping error message first time I start an upgraded site... followed shortly by a loud DOH!!
