You can use soemthing like the following  (Sorry its in C#....I can't freehand VB.NET as good anymore...)

object mySetting = Settings["YourSettingName"];
if(mySetting != null)
{
    //You have the setting, you can convert it to whatever you need..

}

The VB Equivalent should be

Dim mySetting as Object = Settings("YourSettingName")
IF NOT mySetting IS NULL THEN

END IF

The VB one mgiht bit a bit off (I'm not in front of VS rigiht now.).  This works from any module that uses the PortalModuleBase class as a its base.
