add_members error with VB.net...????

I'm trying to add members to a pool...

 

 

When i use this code:

 

Dim memberList() As ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition

 

On Error GoTo AddError

 

 

ReDim memberList(2)

 

Console.WriteLine("Before NEW")

 

memberList(0) = New ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition

 

Console.WriteLine("Before IPADDR")

 

memberList(0).address = "10.1.1.1"

 

Console.WriteLine("Before PORT")

 

memberList(0).port = port

 

Console.WriteLine("Before add_members")

 

LocalLBPool.add_members(pool, memberList)

 

Console.WriteLine("After add_members")

 

AddError:

 

Console.WriteLine("Add Member Error....")

 

printException(Err.GetException())

 

 

 

I get this back:

 

Before NEW

 

Before IPADDR

 

Before PORT

 

Before add_members

 

Add Member Error....

 

Exception Caught

 

\tMessage : Could not find element by name: address

 

\tSource : System.Web.Services

 

 

 

What am i missing? (or am i compeltely in left field here)

 

 

Any help greatly appreciated...

  • I'll have to verify this but from first glace, it looks like you are creating an array of size 2 but only allocating the first element of the array. Is there a reason why you Redim the array to size 2 instead of 1?

  • Joe,

     

     

    i've tried 1, 2, etc. trying to make sure there was enough space allocated...

     

     

    i just reset the ReDim to 1 and got the same result...

     

     

    any ideas? (or do you have a sample of pool adds and deletes in VB.net and/or Perl??)

     

     

    Regards,

     

    Rick
  • Here's some code in Perl (since I already had it ready). I'll work on some VB code and get it to you. BTW, if you are still having problems, can you pass along the version of BIG-IP that you are trying to connect to?

    Also, when you originally call "add_members", what's the first param "pool" initialized to?

  • Don't hesitate to post questions like this. It's usually only obvious after you spend hours and hours working on it. Also, odds are if you are stuck with something, someone else may be in the same boat.
