I have tried several different methods to get the TabModuleSettings for a module I am writing.  I know that they are getting written to the DB properly.  But, when I use Settings("Description") or any other method the count in the hashtable that should be containing the settings is 0.  There's just nothing there.  I'm using 04.07.00.  The project was originally in VS 2005 but I have upgraded it to 2008.  If I upgrade the DNN instance to 04.08.03 might that fix the problem?

Is your module (user control) inheriting from PortalModuleBase?

Chris, I'm having the same issue.  I've got my Settings.ascx.vb to succesfully load/save to the TabModuleSettings database.  But in my view.ascx.vb file where I try to pull the value it keeps pulling NOTHING (ie "") from the table even though I know there is a value in there.  I use the line below and the view.ascx.vb does Inherit from Entitiies.Modules.PortalModuleBase in the "Public Partial Class"...

lblUnitInfo.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(CType(Settings("unitinfotemplate"), String)) 'always comes up as "" even though I know there is a value in the database


I'm too poor for anything other than the community version

The plot thickens.  I can pull the values of other module settings but not this one particular module setting.  In the code below, I'm able to pull "TPP_General" but not able to pull the value for "unitinfotemplate" even though I have verified in the database there is a value for both (it always shows up as empty "" for the unitinfotemplate value???:

lblUnitInfo.Text = CType(Settings("unitinfotemplate"), String)
lblUnitInfo.Text = CType(Settings("TPP_General"), Integer)

I look in the TabModuleSettings table and there is an entry for both "unitinfotemplate" AND "TPP_General" and both have the same TabModuleID and they both have SettingValue strings in them (not empty strings).  And yet in the code above the two lines sit     RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER         and yet one is able to pull data and the other is not??

It's errors like this that really make me angry
