C# set_active_partition error

If you are importing the WSDL files directly into Visual Studio, then you have to do some fun and games with the default URL that is specified. We make the URL in the WSDL files "http://url_to_service/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi" since we don't know (specifically in the standalone SDK) what the address of your BIG-IP is.

 

 

I would highly recommend you use the iControl Assembly for .Net that we release here on DevCentral. It makes writing code a snap. Just download the iControlAssembly.dll from the iControl Assembly labs project under the Labs menu on DevCentral.

 

 

Once you have that .dll on your system, in your project, select Add Reference and point to the iControlAssembly.dll.

 

 

Next add the System.Web and System.Web.Services assemblies as references as well.

 

 

Now all you need to do is create an iControl.Interfaces object, initialize it, and start making method calls.

 

 

iControl.Interfaces m_interfaces = new iControl.Interfaces(); 
 bool bInitialized = m_interfaces.initialize("10.10.10.10", "admin_user", "admin_pass"); 
 if ( bInitialized ) 
 { 
   m_interfaces.ManagementUserManagement.get_my_permission(); 
   m_interfaces.ManagementPartition.set_active_partition("Alpha"); 
 }

 

 

I guarantee this will make your life easier by using our assembly. It will also allow you to upgrade easier in the future when we make new assemblies available and you won't have to go in and refresh your defined references.

 

 

Hope this helps...

worked like a dream. Perfect!

Great to hear. Stick with the .net assembly and you'll be a happy camper!
