Greetings,

For some reason when I try to retrieve custom Module settings, the retrieval succeeds (no error is generated by the code), but no information is returned.

I've setup two Settings, "Realm" and "Guild" and the module is able to let me save those values and retrieves them appropriately for future editing of the module settings, but when I try to use those settings in the module by using something like "Ctype(Settings("Guild"), String)" I get an empty string back.

Any help for the lost? I'm about at my wits end. I'll post whatever code is needed.

Thanks

This would be the code that's typically of what you would find in the Settings codebehind, and that is what I have.

As far as the behavior of the module in regards to setting the values, everything is fine.

The problem is that I can't seem to pull the values back out when I try to use them in the module when outside of the Settings area.

There is no difference.

Here's the code. I have trimmed away some of it, but have left the overall structure.

In the Settings file:

Imports System
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Imports System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Imports DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities
Imports DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Localization
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions

Namespace DotNetNuke.Modules.tss_DKP

    Partial Public Class Settings

        Inherits ModuleSettingsBase

#Region "Public Methods"

        Public Overrides Sub LoadSettings()

            Try

                If Not Null.IsNull(Settings("Realm")) Then
                    txtRealm.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings("Realm"))
                Else
                    txtRealm.Text = ""
                End If

                If Not Null.IsNull(Settings("Guild")) Then
                    txtGuild.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings("Guild"))
                Else
                    txtGuild.Text = ""
                End If

            Catch exc As Exception 'Module failed to load
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
            End Try

        End Sub

        Public Overrides Sub UpdateSettings()

            Try

                Dim modController As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController
                modController.UpdateModuleSetting(ModuleId, "Realm", txtRealm.Text.Trim)
                modController.UpdateModuleSetting(ModuleId, "Guild", txtGuild.Text.Trim)
                ModuleController.SynchronizeModule(ModuleId)

            Catch exc As Exception 'Module failed to load
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
            End Try

        End Sub

#End Region

    End Class

End Namespace

The code that is used in the module:;

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Xml
Imports DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities
Imports DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity

Imports DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities
Imports DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.Actions
Imports DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Localization
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions

Namespace DotNetNuke.Modules.tss_DKP

    Partial Public Class tss_ucPlayers
        Inherits PortalModuleBase

        Protected Sub CommandMenu_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles lnkAddPlayer.Click, lnkUpdatePlayer.Click, lnkDeletePlayer.Click, lnkSyncPlayer.Click

            Dim txtRealm As String = CType(Settings("Realm"), String)
            Dim txtGuild As String = CType(Settings("Guild"), String)

        End Sub

    End Class

End Namespace

A large part of that file I've chopped out for clarity here.

Thanks again for the help!
