CommunicationException while using the Atlassian .NET SDK

Question

I'm using the Atlassian .NET SDK to extract data from Jira OnDemand. I need to get more than 100 issues for a particular project. My problem is that if I set the maxIssues property to higher than 67, I get a CommunicationExceptions saying:

"Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation 'getIssuesFromJqlSearch'."

Any ideas how I can fix this?

var jiraConn = new Jira(url, user, password);

IEnumerable<Atlassian.Jira.Issue> jiraIssues = 
     jiraConn.GetIssuesFromJql("project = MAGNAMES", 67);

foreach (var i in jiraIssues)
{
    MessageBox.Show(i.Key + " " + i.Summary);
}

Answer 1

Make sure there isn't a particular problem with Issue number 68 that is preventing JiraSoapService from correctly deserializing the issue. Perhaps there is something in a comment or other WYSIWYG field that is breaking the deserializer.
