Error in creating a group using createItemRequest

Question

Hi Preston,
I am using createItemRequest for a creating group.
The code is as follows:
gwWB.createItemRequest oCreateAddBookEntryReq = new gwWB.createItemRequest();
gwWB.createItemResponse oCreateAddBookEntryResp ;
gwWB.ContainerRef oContRef = new gwWB.ContainerRef();
gwWB.Group oGroup = new gwWB.Group();
oContRef.Value = sAddBookID;
gwWB.ContainerRef[] oContainerRef = new gwWB.ContainerRef[1];
oContainerRef[0] = oContRef;
oGroup.container = oContainerRef;
oGroup.name = sName;
oGroup.comment = sComments;
oGroup.distinguishedName = sDistinguishedName;
oGroup.domain = sDomain;
oGroup.PABGuid = sPABGUID;
oGroup.postOffice = sPostOffice;
oGroup.userid = sUserID;
oGroup.uuid = sUuid;
oGroup.visibility = GetVisibility(oAddBookEntry.Visibility);
oGroup.customs = null;
oGroup.categories = null;
oGroup.members = null;
oCreateAddBookEntryResp = oUserBinding.createItemRequest(oCreateAddBookEntry Req);
if(oCreateAddBookEntryResp.status.code == 0)
string sNewAddBookEntryID = oCreateAddBookEntryResp.id[0];
createItemResponse is returning Status code as 0 and the id field for group as null. When i see the group in the Address Book , a message box pops up that the group cannot be opened.

Answer 1

I'm confused at what you are trying to create.
Some of the fields are only available on a
system address book entry. You can't create a
system address book group from SOAP.
What does the SOAP trace look like for the
the create item request and response and
when you try to get the group after that?
