ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It would be worth verifying the entry it's attempting to add if possible?
I guess none of the values passed as extensionAttribute* are empty ("")? I don't think you'd catch that with the Null test, and AD won't like you for attempting it (the error you have is exactly what I'd expect to see).
Perhaps you might use:
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ext
// Add the property
}
