Aug 16, 2007get_global_statistics() - Returns a bad XML file
I'm trying to get statistics for the BIG-IP using SystemStats.get_global_statistics() in a VB.NET project. VB.NET chokes on the response with this error: There is an error in XML document ...

Aug 16, 2007Sorry, I forgot that the logfile showed multiple SOAP calls. I stripped it down to just the relevant SOAP request/response.
The thing is, these validate just fine. That's what I can't figure out. I added a SOAP monitoring subroutine to my VB.NET project to save the exact SOAP response that was being received from the BIG-IP. The XML file validates fine, but VB.NET has an XML processing error with the same document. And it's only with v9.4.1, not 9.2.4.
If I can't figure this out, I can probably hack the SOAP monitoring subroutine to give the program access to the SOAP document so I can just import it into an XML object and parse it myself. I'm using the proxy library included with SDK which has been great up to this point. In this specific case, it's been frustrating because what SHOULD simply "just work" isn't working and I can't figure out why. But I do know the SOAP document being received is valid. I don't know why VB.NET chokes on it with the SystemStatistics proxy library.
For the record, I used the .NET WSDL command line program to generate the SystemStatistics proxy library. Maybe I used a wrong version of that program or a wrong version of iControl or something?
