I am trying to create a user with the new web services in HMC4.5, basically it works fine, but when i try to instantiate and set values in the CreateUserRequestData.properties object, it fails.

What i want to do is to, in addition to set the basic data like upn, display, givenname, lastname etc, also set the mobile property in Active Directory...
My request looks like this:

//
// Create user request object
//

MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.CreateUserRequest cuReq = new MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.CreateUserRequest();
//
// Create user request data object
//

MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.ArrayOfCreateUserRequestDataPropertyProperty prop = new MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.ArrayOfCreateUserRequestDataPropertyProperty();
prop.name = "mobile"; prop.value[0] = txtMobile.Text;
cuReqData.properties[0] = prop;

The last line fails with an exception, "object reference not set to an instance......" use the new keyword...

Can anyone tell me how to handle this object to set active directory attributes?

Thanks !

cuReqData.properties = new MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.ArrayOfCreateUserRequestDataPropertyProperty[1];
cuReqData.properties[0] = new MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.ArrayOfCreateUserRequestDataPropertyProperty();
cuReqData.properties[0].value = new object[] { txtMobile.Text.Trim() };
cuReqData.properties[0].name = "mobile";
cuReqData.properties[0].mode = MPSWSProxy.HostedActiveDirectory.ArrayOfCreateUserRequestDataPropertyPropertyMode.update;

Any ideas why the property tag i make via the ArrayOfCreateUserPropertyProperty object is being rendered like this?

<property name="mobile"><value xsi:type="xsd:string" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">+5511112222</value>

I am having this problem also in the HostedActiveDirectory.Service.ModifyUser method:

If anyone else have this problem, please let me know

Appears to be a solution..:

/// <remarks/>

[System.SerializableAttribute()]

[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]

/// <remarks/>

public string value {

set {

I am running into this, too, calling ...Service.CreateUser(). Is there a fix other than editing Reference.cs under HostedActiveDirectory in the web service proxy project?

This solution is working for me. However, anyone using the Update Web Reference feature, for any reason, will lose the relevant changes. Microsoft should provide and explanation, or permanent fix applied to the MPS server where the Service originates.
