.NET Interop Issues

Hi,

We are attempting to call API functions from a .NET 3.5 SP1 SOAP client (added a .NET 2 compatible web reference). We have run into some small glitches when attempting to invoke your API via SOAP. A cursory examintation (very cursory ;-) leads us to believe that some of the XML returned in the SOAP response body is very slightly malformed and as a result can not be deserialized into usable objects on the client end. Initially we thought it might be due to the libxml2/nusoap issue but it seems like we are using a "safe" version of said libs...

On the server end:

PHP version: 5.2.6
NuSOAP version: 0.7.3 (1)
httpd version: Apache/2.2.8 (EL)
libxml2 version: 2.6.26

On the client end:

We get a deserialization error stating that there is an error in the returned XML response....

System.InvalidOperationException = {"There is an error in XML document (2, 17)."}

Inner exception:

Message = "'xsi' is an undeclared namespace. Line 2, position 17."

Here is a (sanitized) dump of the entire SOAP conversation for a call to the getDepartmentList function (representative of results we get with calls to other functions)...

Has anyone out there experienced a similar issue?

Thanks
