Adding and Deleting data group records and ZoneRunner records via PowerShell

So I am trying to just list the resource records get_rrs and get_rrs_detailed and I am getting the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll

Here's the code:

Interfaces interfaces = new Interfaces();

string[] view = { "external" };

ManagementViewInfo[] views = interfaces.ManagementView.get_list();

ManagementViewZone[] viewZones = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone_name(view);

ManagementZoneInfo[] zoneInfo = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone(viewZones);

ManagementResourceRecord rr = new ManagementResourceRecord();

string[][] resourceRecords = rr.get_rrs(viewZones);

ManagementRRList[] resourceRecordsDetailed = rr.get_rrs_detailed(viewZones);

Thanks!

Unless I am mistakien, your arrays should be constructed like this...

And for your gets, which call is generating the error?

The get_rrs and get_rrs_detailed.

Let me take a crack at constructing these arrays.

Thanks!

I'm lost. Maybe I just don't know enough about the data structure nut this seems like overkill... I am getting a null reference exception at this line: recordseqseq[0][0] = recordseq[0]; This does appear to fix the issues with add_cname but the code doesn't get to that point so I am not sure if it really is fixed... At least Visual Studio is not underlining the add_cname line anymore because the overloads are to correct data structure it is looking for.

        Interfaces interfaces = new Interfaces();
        string[] view = { "external" };
        ManagementViewInfo[] views = interfaces.ManagementView.get_list();
        ManagementViewZone[] viewZones = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone_name(view);
        ManagementZoneInfo[] zoneInfo = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone(viewZones);
        ManagementCNAMERecord record = new ManagementCNAMERecord();
        record.cname = "test";
        record.domain_name = "st.int";
        record.ttl = 3600;
        ManagementCNAMERecord[] recordseq = new ManagementCNAMERecord[1];
        ManagementCNAMERecord[][] recordseqseq = new ManagementCNAMERecord[1][];
        recordseq[0] = record;
        recordseqseq[0][0] = recordseq[0];
        interfaces.ManagementResourceRecord.add_cname(viewZones, recordseqseq);

Any ideas what the deal is?

I figured it out! Code below:

    Interfaces interfaces = new Interfaces();
    string[] view = { "external" };
    ManagementViewInfo[] views = interfaces.ManagementView.get_list();
    ManagementViewZone[] viewZones = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone_name(view);
    ManagementZoneInfo[] zoneInfo = interfaces.ManagementZone.get_zone(viewZones);
    ManagementCNAMERecord record = new ManagementCNAMERecord();
    record.cname = "test";
    record.domain_name = "st.int";
    record.ttl = 3600;
    ManagementCNAMERecord[][] recordseqseq = new ManagementCNAMERecord[][]
    {
        new ManagementCNAMERecord[] {record}
    };
    try
    {
        interfaces.ManagementResourceRecord.add_cname(viewZones, recordseqseq);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
    }

Now in all reality, this code will NOT work as it is because you need to have FQDNs for both the cname and the domain_name field. Funny thing also is that the catch does not catch the error... It does catch exceptions on some configurations but if you have a domain name only and a cname only, it will not catch the exception.

I am creating a custom REST API to automate some of the tasks that need to be done so I should be able to take care of error handling via Model Validation.

Thanks for all the help!
