For the most part - you cant and your shouldnt.

Much of the context that is DNN is handled by default.aspx - if you call any other .aspx page then you need to handle thay context yourself.

Let me explain - for there to be MODULE SETTINGS - you need to be within the context of a module.
For a module to exist it needs to reside within the context of a CONTAINER and inside a SKIN and the DNN framework.

Simply opening an .aspx page on your website will do none of these things.

So for the most page - you cant get 'Module Settings" from an aspx page ... since they dont really exist.

If however, you want a special .aspx page that has access to the FRAMEWORK if not a specific module

Then you could base your aspx page on:

       DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase

This will provide you with access to the DNN context.

Westa

As Westa indicated, it really doesn't make sense to reference module settings outside of the context of a DNN module control (derriving from PortalModuleBase) or perhaps from within a server control or user control that is a child control of a DNN module control.  Module settings are stored within the DNN database keyed by ModuleID and SettingName.  Without having a valid ModuleID (or TabModuleID in the case of TabModuleSettings) available within the context of a DNN module, DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase does not provide a ModuleSettings property like Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase does.

There are several ways in which ModuleSettings can be obtained outside of the context of a DNN module - primarily for use when creating a server control or user control.  One of them is to use the shared (static) method 'GetModuleSettings' of the DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings class:

Dim ModuleSettings As System.Collections.Hashtable = PortalSettings.GetModuleSettings (ModuleID)

Note that GetModuleSettings requires you to provide a ModuleID which you will not have available in the context of an .aspx page. Please provide us with more information as to why you need to create an .aspx page rather than a DNN module (.ascx control).
