Gulf Coast Oil Spill Layers, issues...

Question

I keep getting a message saying that the "Gulf Coast Oil Spill 3-Day Forecast" is not available.  Any known issues with the Gulf Spill layers?

We are also having issues - we cannot display the oil plume service in a .Net ADF map.  When trying to add services from events.arcgisonline.com/services to a .Net ADF app you get the error in the attched image.  Same error is returned in .Net with the sample code below

Also get an error  returned when trying to view the WSDL at http://events.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services.
    //attempt to connect to gis server
                                dsDefiner = DataSourceDiscovery.CreateDataSourceDefiner(serverType, DataSourceDiscoveryTarget.WebApplication.ToString(), out error);
                                definer = dsDefiner as DataSourceDefinerWeb;

definer.UseDefaultWebResources = false;
                                definer.WebResourceLocation = Page.ResolveClientUrl("./");
                                definer.DataSourceType = serverType;
                                definer.Definition = serverURL;

resType = new ResourceType[] { ResourceType.Map };
                                definer.ResourceTypes = resType;

dsTree = definer.GetDataSourceInfo(true, out error);
//dsTree is null and error contains the same error message as above

Are you still getting this error? If yes, can you provide a URL to the service/layer?
