Condition

SoapException

This method works only with Meeting Workspace sites. If you call this method against a non-Meeting Workspace site, this method generates a SOAP exception that looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Body> <soap:Fault> <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode> <faultstring>Exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException was thrown.</faultstring> <detail> <errorstring xmlns= "https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"> Your attempt to add a meeting to a Meeting Workspace could not be completed. The specified location is not a Meeting Workspace. Specify a different location or contact the Web site administrator.</errorstring> <errorcode xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x00000006</errorcode> </detail> </soap:Fault> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> The method returns the previous exception if an empty iCal string is passed in the iCalText parameter. The error code is 0x00000005, and the error string is read as follows: "Your attempt to update the Meeting Workspace site could not be completed. There was no information to send to the workspace."
