Creating BusinessPartner with both mail to and bill to address

Question

Hi,
I am having problem creating a business partner with both mail to and bill to address. I want to create two instances (lines) in BPAddresses; one with mial to address and another with bioll to address. But I still get the error code -5002 with the message "Address is empty [OCRD: CardCode} line:1"
Below is my code in C#:
SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners bp = (SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners) conn.InternalConnection.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners);
               bp.CardName = "Test Tester";
               bp.CardType = SAPbobsCOM.BoCardTypes.cCustomer;
               bp.CardCode = "TEST29";
               bp.Address = "1305 Blue Raven Blvd";
               bp.City = "Citrus Height";
               bp.Country = "US";
               bp.BillToState = "CA";
               bp.ContactPerson = "Peter Snicker";
               bp.Currency = "USD";
               bp.ZipCode ="94521";
               string errMsg;
               int errCode;
               int returnval = bp.Add();               
               if(0 != returnval){
                    conn.InternalConnection.GetLastError(out errCode, out errMsg);
                    Console.WriteLine(errMsg);
                    return;
               string cardCode;
               conn.InternalConnection.GetNewObjectCode(out cardCode);
               //Console.WriteLine("Added BP successfully",cardCode);
               bp.GetByKey(cardCode);
               bp.Addresses.Add();
               bp.Addresses.SetCurrentLine(1);
               bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
               returnval = bp.Update();
               if(0 != returnval){
                    conn.InternalConnection.GetLastError(out errCode, out errMsg);
                    Console.WriteLine(errMsg);
                    return;
I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
The reason for your error is that you're trying to add a blank ship to address.
bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
returnval = bp.Update();
you are just specifying a type and then trying to update. If you want to add another line, you have to set some properties, like:
bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
bp.Addresses.AddressName = "My Address";
etc...
etc...
returnval = bp.Update();
Hope it helps,
