"Exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException was thrown." when calling UpdateList

Hi,

I am trying to execute the code attached and I just get the very helpful error message "Exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException was thrown." Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Dim w2 As New WSS2.Lists
            w2.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

            Dim ndList As XmlNode = w2.GetList(destinationListName)
            Dim ndVersion As XmlNode = ndList.Attributes("Version")
 
            Dim xmlDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
            Dim ndProperties As XmlNode = xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "List", "")

                XmlAttribute)

            ndDescriptionAttrib.Value = ndList.Attributes("Description").Value
 
            ndProperties.Attributes.Append(ndTitleAttrib)
            ndProperties.Attributes.Append(ndDescriptionAttrib)

Do you have the exception details?  Are you getting anything like 'Method not found' in the exception?
