Remarks
One or more parameters of the GetSPListFromName method can be null or empty strings. The method first tests the values of the webId and listGuid parameters. If those values are null or empty, the method tests the value specified in the listUrl parameter. If that value is null or empty, the method uses the value in the listDisplayName parameter as a last resort.
