Hi there

I have a DNN 5.02 portal to which I have added a simple image rotator ASCX control as a module. I didn't create a manifest manually, but allowed DNN to create all the necessaries using the Create New Module option in the Module Definitions page. All was so far good, but I have hit a problem now that I am trying to add a Settings control to the module. The custom settings I have coded into a Settings.ascx control are not shown at the bottom of the default Settings page when I choose the Settings menu option for the module instance. I think I have done everything that I should:

1. Created a Settings.ascx markup file, including Label controls and checkbox controls etc.
2. Created the associated code behind inheriting from ModuleSettingsBase.
3. Created a resource file for Localization, which I believe is natively supported by ModuleSettingsBase.
4. Added the Settings.ascx control as a module definition to update the module configuration on the admin portal, and set the module type as Admin (also I tried Edit but neither makes a difference)

But the custom settings in my Settings control are not displayed when I view the module settings, even if I remove and add the module to the page. It's as if the Settings.ascx control is not recognized. There are no errors generated in the admin Event Viewer. Have I missed something obvious out, and if not, where might be the most likely place to start troubleshooting, as I am at a loss to know what to do now!?

Thanks very much for any advice!

Thanks for that,

I had both of those wrong, so now it is just about sorted - and I set it to Admin view t ype aswell. The only problem I have with it is that it isn't finding the localized text resources included with the module. Am I right in assuming that controls inheriting from ModuleSettingsBase should be able to support use of a localization resx file implicitly without any additional coding. If so, then it is probably a separate problem for another thread, but it would be useful to confirm this.

Many regards
