Problem with SPList.SaveAsTemplate

I have never really had too much cause to use this method before but I am developing some generic classes to deal with column, content type and list management for use in a series of features.

My ListHelper class has a method called DeleteList which looks like this:

        Public Shared Function DeleteList(ByVal List As SPList, ByVal Operation As DeleteOperation) As Boolean

        If Operation = DeleteOperation.DeleteWithBackup Or Operation = DeleteOperation.ForcedDeleteWithBackup Then
            SaveListAsTemplate(List, True)
        End If

        If Operation = DeleteOperation.ForcedDelete Or Operation = DeleteOperation.ForcedDeleteWithBackup Then
            If List.AllowDeletion = False Then
                List.AllowDeletion = True
                List.Update()
            End If
        End If

        Try
            List.Delete()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return False
        End Try

        Return True

    End Function

This is very much a work in progress, but I am having trouble with the SaveListAsTemplate method which looks like this:

        Public Shared Function SaveListAsTemplate(ByVal List As SPList, ByVal SaveContent As Boolean) As String

        If HttpContext.Current IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim tmpFileName As String = List.Title & "_saved_" & Now.ToFileTimeUtc & ".stp"
            List.SaveAsTemplate(tmpFileName, List.Title, "list template saved programmatically", SaveContent)
            Return List.ParentWeb.Site.Url & "/_catalogs/lt/" & tmpFileName
        Else
            Throw New Exception("List template cannot be saved unless the code is running in a valid HttpContext")
        End If

    End Function

The reason for the check into HttpContext is possibly not required, this is the reason for my post. I cannot get this code to execute from within a console application. Does the SPList.SaveAsTemplate method require a HttpContext? If it does it is not metioned in any of the docs that I have seen.

As an aside any other comments on this code gratefully received.
