PCSDK: Exception when using MainComputer

sanderb

Hi All,

when I try and access the contollers MainComputerServiceInfo I get the above exception, with the message "The URL used to initialize the helper does not resolve to a valid object."

Obviously I'm doing something wrong. 

What I do is (I've shortened it):

var scanner = new NetworkScanner();

NetworkScanner.AddRemoteController(ipAddress);

scanner.Scan();

ControllerInfo[] controllerInfos = scanner.GetControllers();

robotController = ControllerFactory.CreateFrom(controllerInfos[0]);

robotController.Logon(UserInfo.DefaultUser);

Now I have a connection to my robotController, testing it with the following code creates a perfect backup, so the controller works.

var backupManager = new BackupManager(robotController );

backupManager.LocalName = systemName + ".lzo";

backupManager.Backup();

When I call 

MainComputerServiceInfo infCPU = robotController .MainComputerServiceInfo; 

OR 

string str = robotController .MainComputerServiceInfo.CpuInfo;

Gives me the above error.

Does anybody knows whats going wrong? A piece of sample code perhaps?

Replicated. Can't get it to work either and I get the same error.

 

I have reported this to R&D as a bug.
