I figured-out the problem. WebConnectionWebControls.dll was in the directory. However, I just renamed the old one, before copying the new dll. Visual Studio was trying to load both dlls and failing.
Is there anything that would cause the wwWebTabControl to display vertically, instead of horizontally? I did not change any code, just updated WC.
If the ww: prefix is missing you probably don't have WebConnectionWebControls.dll in your bin folder. The DLL is required to provide the design time features of the Web Connection controls in the VS editor. It's not actually used at runtime...

Hi,
I updated to WC 5.65. I ran the setup.exe, with .NET optimization. The default Web site is stopped. So, I put wconnect as another virtual directory under my app's, root Web site. I copied the newer webconnectionwebcontrols.dll to my app's bin directory.
When I open VS 2010, I get Unrecognized tag prefix or filter 'ww' and the properties window does not display the controls properties. Also, the wwWebTabControl displays as small tabs, stacked vertically. I tried setting the height and width properties. I was hoping that the proprieties window would let me see what property is causing the problem.
The West Wind Web Controls toolbox tab is present. I removed it and readded it, with the newer webconnectionwebcontrols.dll.
I deleted C:\Users\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ReflectedSchemas
I deleted C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
I deleted .suo
Thanks,
David
