NetSuite SuiteTalk TransactionSearchAdvanced: recordList equals null

I have a small C# console application who's sole purpose is to receive records from a "Saved Search" in NetSuite(via SuiteTalk). I've been able to successfully connect and receive records from NetSuite for my Saved Search(the search runs fine through the web interface too), however when I attempt to access the results of the "Saved Search" through my application, I am unable to view them because the search object that is returned does not contain any data in the "recordList" property:

//Connect
var dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService = new DataCenterAwareNetSuiteService("XXXXXX");
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.Timeout = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 2;

//Adds Credentials etc...
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.tokenPassport = createTokenPassport(); 

//Setup Preferences
var prefs = new Preferences();
prefs.warningAsErrorSpecified = true;
prefs.warningAsError = false;
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.preferences = prefs;

var searchPrefs = new SearchPreferences();
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.searchPreferences = searchPrefs;
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.searchPreferences.pageSize = 5;
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.searchPreferences.pageSizeSpecified = true;
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.searchPreferences.bodyFieldsOnly = false;
dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.searchPreferences.returnSearchColumns = false;

//Search
var tranSearchAdv = new TransactionSearchAdvanced();
var tranSearchRow = new TransactionSearchRow();
var tranSearchRowBasic = new TransactionSearchRowBasic();

tranSearchAdv.savedSearchId = "XXXX";
tranSearchRowBasic.internalId = 
    new SearchColumnSelectField[] { new SearchColumnSelectField() };
tranSearchRowBasic.tranId = 
    new SearchColumnStringField[] { new SearchColumnStringField() };
tranSearchRowBasic.dateCreated = 
    new SearchColumnDateField[] { new SearchColumnDateField() };
tranSearchRowBasic.total = 
    new SearchColumnDoubleField[] { new SearchColumnDoubleField() };
tranSearchRowBasic.entity = 
    new SearchColumnSelectField[] { new SearchColumnSelectField() };

tranSearchRow.basic = tranSearchRowBasic;
tranSearchAdv.columns = tranSearchRow;

//No errors, 
//this works correctly and returns the "Saved Search" with the correct "totalRecords"
//but results.recordList == null while results.totalRecords = 10000000+
var results = dataCenterAwareNetSuiteService.search(tranSearchAdv);

I appears to me that the "recordList" object is the principal way data is retrieved from the results of a search(Related Java Example, Another Here). This is also the way the example API does it.

I have run this on multiple "Saved Search's" with the same results. I don't understand how you can have more than one record in "totalRecords" and yet the "recordList" remains null? Is there some configuration option that has to be set to allow me to access this property. Or maybe it's a security thing, the API user I have setup should have full access, is there anything else that need to be granted access?

NetSuite SuiteTalk is not well documented, and most of the examples online are not in C#, and not dealing with the issues that I'm experiencing. These factors make it very difficult to determine why the previously mentioned behavior is occurring, or even, to discover any alternative methods for retrieving the resulting data from the source "Saved Search".

Does anyone have any insight into this behavior? Is this the correct method of retrieving results from SuiteTalk? Is there any configuration from the API or Web Side that needs to be changed?

Update 1

I've also tried using the alternative way of getting result data by accessing the "searchRowList" object from the "SearchResult" object(suggested by @AdolfoGarza) However it returns mostly empty fields(null) similar to the "recordList" property I do not see a way to retrieve "Saved Search" data from this method.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing this line in the code:

tranSearchRow.basic = tranSearchRowBasic;

Then like @AdolfoGarza reccomended, retrieving the results from "basic" field in "results.searchRowList"

For some reason the template API that I was using was setting up a "TransactionSearchAdvanced" referencing a blank "TransactionSearchBasic" record, not sure why but this was causing the results from "searchRowList" to be null. After removing it I now get non-null values in the proper fields.

As for "recordList", it's still null, not sure why, but as I have my data I don't think I'll continue to dig into this.

Try getting the results with results.searchRowList.searchRow , thats how it works in php.
