I ran into similar errors compiling the source version of v5.2.1 in Visual Studio Express 2008. The rest of the projects compiled fine, but attempting to build the website caused "'Null' is not declared", "Name 'IsAdminControl' is not declared", etc, errors. It turned out I simply needed to rename "release.config" to "web.config"  

This may seem obvious to .NET dab hands, but it would be good if this was clearly documented somewhere for the source version!  Obviously I know to do this when *installing" a DNN portal, but didn't think it was necessary in order to get the site to compile (yes, I'm new compiling .NET apps!  I normally just tinker with the ASCXs, etc, but sometimes there is logic coded into the DLLs that can't be fixed this way).

BTW - building the website project is disabled by default when opening "DotNetNuke.sln" (i.e., when compiling in "debug" mode), and doesn't actually appear to be necessary - it doesn't produce any changes (having already compiled the other projects), it just appears to "Validate" the website as a .NET web project.  I'd welcome pointers on circumstances when it is necessary to "Build" the web project part of the DNN solution?
