XML exception when calling ITCMLocalLBVirtualServer.get_virtual_address_list()

Mark,

 

 

I'm using VS.Net 2003, and I don't currently see the "Bad Request" problem. Using similar code framework (with different interfaces, of course) as below, I'm able to communicate with various versions of BIG-IP (4.x, 4.6.x, 9.x). I'm including some code below so you can reference. Please let us know if this helps.

 

 

This is my main C file, ITCMVirtualServerMain.cs
