I've been working on a new module locally (DNN 07.04.00) for some time. The module is working fine.

Today I tried to browse to my Site Settings in the Admin menu (as I need to set up some custom user profile properties) and I get the following error. I have another dnn site on my dev machine that does not have this issue. How can I work out what the problem is? I haven't edited sitesettings.ascx or anything else in this part of the site. What could have caused this? The only thin g I did remotely in this region recently was I started using some of the DNN wrapped Telerik controls in my module, and to support that I copied some dll files around my DesktopModules bin folders (but not anywhere near Admin). I can't think of anything else that might be interfering.

Error: Site Settings is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: c:\LocalWebsites\dnn\DesktopModules\Admin\Portals\SiteSettings.ascx.cs(934): error CS1061: 'DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnPageDropDownList' does not contain a definition for 'Roles' and no extension method 'Roles' accepting a first argument of type 'DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnPageDropDownList' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: c:\LocalWebsites\dnn\DesktopModules\Admin\Portals\SiteSettings.ascx.cs(934): error CS1061: 'DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnPageDropDownList' does not contain a definition for 'Roles' and no extension method 'Roles' accepting a first argument of type 'DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnPageDropDownList' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlUtilities.LoadControl[T](TemplateControl containerControl, String ControlSrc) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleControlFactory.LoadModuleControl(TemplateControl containerControl, ModuleInfo moduleConfiguration) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I've hacked a temporary workaround to this.

In SiteSettings.ascx.cs I've commented out these recently added lines of code (the last five lines of this method.) Any idea why they would be causing me grief?

private void InitializeDropDownLists()
{
var undefinedItem = new ListItem(SharedConstants.Unspecified, String.Empty);
cboSplashTabId.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
cboHomeTabId.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
cboRegisterTabId.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
cboUserTabId.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
RedirectAfterLogin.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
RedirectAfterRegistration.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;
RedirectAfterLogout.UndefinedItem = undefinedItem;

//RedirectAfterRegistration.Roles.Add(PortalSettings.RegisteredRoleId);
//RedirectAfterRegistration.Roles.Add(int.Parse(Globals.glbRoleAllUsers));

//RedirectAfterLogin.Roles.Add(PortalSettings.RegisteredRoleId);
//RedirectAfterLogin.Roles.Add(int.Parse(Globals.glbRoleAllUsers));

//RedirectAfterLogout.Roles.Add(int.Parse(Globals.glbRoleAllUsers));
}

Compare the working site against the non-working?

Well, that's more or less what I did. I had a previous version of the whole site prior to the last DNN platform upgrade, and looking at the differences there led me to make the code change I mentioned above.

This is a code change directly in the DNN Admin sitesettings module. I never went near this previously. It has only changed as the result of an upgrade, so I can only assume that there is no bug in this code. I've basically just commented out the prepopulation of some combo boxes that I wasn't editing anyway.

Something else in my configuration must be causing this in the first place. It smells like I have the wrong version of a DLL somewhere, but no idea which DLL or where it is wrong.

Something to do with the new Roles property on the DnnDropDownList class, I'd bet.
