    I've worked out what was wrong. I was using an older version of the snapin.

     

    I found the link to download iControlSnapInSetup_23.msi and now I'm back in business.

This issue comes up with you are connecting to a newer version of the BIG-IP where new enumerations were introduced. The way the SOAP layer works with the .net library is that it needs to know the string representations of the enums so when a new one comes down in a response the client code knows how to interpret it. Too bad the .net code doesn't handle new values but that's how it is.
