Hi Andy, This problem is normally seen when a client is using .NET without the client library. The cause is that the .NET wsdl to code generator will under certain circumstances not generate certain classes. More information is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/wiki/NoClientLibrary#b._wsdl.exe_doesn't_generate_some_types_properly. It appears that you are using the client library however. Did you rebuild the classes at any point?
