getting members of a pool

I am trying to get a list of members of a certain pool to printout on a command line. i am using this code below to print out the name of the pools i am using and other information about the pool:

 

 


string[] poolList = f5Pool.get_list();
ITCMLocalLBPoolPoolStatisticsEntry[] poolstats = f5Pool.get_pool_statistics(poolList);
            
            
for (int poolIdx = 0; poolIdx < poolList.Length ; poolIdx++)
{
      
Console.WriteLine("\n" + poolList[poolIdx]);
Console.Write(poolstatspoolIdx].stats.connection_stats.current_connections + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstatspoolIdx].stats.connection_stats.maximum_connections + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstats[poolIdx].stats.connection_stats.total_connections + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstats[poolIdx].stats.thruput_stats.packets_in + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstats[poolIdx].stats.thruput_stats.packets_out + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstats[poolIdx].stats.thruput_stats.bits_in + "\t");
Console.Write(poolstats[poolIdx].stats.thruput_stats.bits_out + "\t");
             
}

 

 

I tried using get_member_list() to pass a string value in it, and it would come up with an inner exception error but when I made the string a toupper() it would go through but it would not pass a value.

 

 

If anyone can help me get the members of a pool to print out it would be very helpfull. I am using C.

 

 

Thanks,

    What did the exception state? Invalid parameters will result in a SOAPFault with the approprate BIG-IP error message embedded in it. Pool names are case sensitive, so odds are uppercasing the pool name, would not cause a match.

     

     

    If you could post the code that isn't working, I might be able to see what's going on. Otherwise I'm just guessing. If you could also pass us the contents of the exception that will help as well.

string members = poolList[poolIdx]; 
ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition[] memberstest = f5Pool.get_member_list(members);

     

     

    That is the code I am using to call the pool name. But i get this error

     

    "Cannot assign object of type System.String to an object of type System.Int64"

     

     

    But when I use this code :

     

     

    
string members = poolList[poolIdx]; 
members = members.ToUpper();
ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition[] memberstest = f5Pool.get_member_list(members);

     

     

    I get no problems except that no value gets past.

     

     

    get_member_list requires a string pool_name and that is what I am passing.

     

     

    ex. first pool from the get_list I used in code in frist post is called "Web_Tone"

     

    even if I do

     

    
ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition[] memberstest = f5Pool.get_member_list("Web_Tone" );

     

     

    I get the inner exception error.

    Ok i figured out my problem. I was using someone elses code and when they were referencing the CommonIPDeffiniton they put the adress as a long rather then a string.

     

     

    Joe thanks for taking the time to help, I accually got the idea to check this from another post in this forum.
