Module Settings Error

Two different sets of symptoms, for different versions of DotNetNuke.

1. Version 3.1.1

In this version of DotNetNuke I found that the module ignored the settings which had been defined, via the database. when clicking on the option to edit the settings for the module a blank page was presented.

2. Version 3.2.2

The module settings were available and were user when rendering the page. However, following the settings options ws the following error message.

Unhandled error loading module. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled Error Adding Module to ContentPane ---> System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Modules.ModuleSettingsPage.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\admin\Modules\ModuleSettings.ascx.vb:line 566 at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.UserControl.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl(Control control, Int32 index) at System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\admin\Skins\Skin.vb:line 559 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

To correct both of these errors ensure that no key for the module is set to 'Settings'
