IDatasetContainer2.CreateDataset fails with ArcObjects 10.1

Question

Hello,

I have a small application used to check and generate network, created with the help of the following tutorial: 
http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/conceptualhelp/index.html#/How_to_create_a_network_dataset/0001000000w7000000/

It worked just fine with ArcGIS 10, but since I had to upgrade to 10.1, the application fails on this line: INetworkDataset networkDataset = (INetworkDataset)datasetContainer2.CreateDataset(deDataset);

The error code is "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled Message=Exception from HRESULT: 
0x80042262", which really isn't helpful. Is there something new I could have missed, or some help on what could cause such an error ?

Thank you again for your answers. The issue was finally solved and it had nothing to do with this particular function, the origin was a database insertion that failed without error message. As a result, the database used with our solver wasn't complete like expected and the CreateDataset failed.

I have made paste of a my function where I create NA in 10.1. There are part of code that you don't need so you remove and try it or compare with your code

I can't really give the whole code here, but maybe send it to you directly if you need. Here is what comes right before the call to CreateDataset:
// Create a new empty data element for a buildable network dataset.
IDENetworkDataset2 dataElementNDS = new DENetworkDatasetClass();
dataElementNDS.Buildable = true;

//Copy the feature dataset's extent and spatial reference to the network dataset data element.
(dataElementNDS as IDEGeoDataset).Extent = (featureDataset as IGeoDataset).Extent;
(dataElementNDS as IDEGeoDataset).SpatialReference = (featureDataset as IGeoDataset).SpatialReference;

// Specify the name of the network dataset.
(dataElementNDS as IDataElement).Name = ndsBaseName;

dataElementNDS.ElevationModel = esriNetworkElevationModel.esriNEMElevationFields;

// Specify Data contained into NDS and connection rules between them
dataElementNDS.Sources = CreateSources(featureDataset as IFeatureClassContainer, timetableShpPattern, paramNDSType, inputDataFolderName, paramHasSubway, paramHasBus, paramHasSubwayTransfert);
dataElementNDS.SupportsTurns = true;

// Define NDS attribute values possibly based on FCs parameters (ex : travel time)
dataElementNDS.Attributes = CreateNDSAttributes(dataElementNDS.Sources, paramNDSType, paramHasSubway, paramHasBus);

dataElementNDS.Directions = CreateDirections();

//Create new DataSet within the Feature Dataset contained into the gdb
INetworkDataset networkDataset = datasetContainer.CreateDataset(dataElementNDS as IDEDataset) as INetworkDataset;

Would you have any idea, even vague, on what could cause such an error, or what I should look for in my code ?
