Example

Initialize a terminal user control and check for errors before setting the host address and connecting

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ibmTerminalControl1.InitInstance(Attachmate.Reflection.UserControl.IbmHosts.HostType.IBM3270);
}
 
private void ibmTerminalControl1_TerminalInitializedEvent(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // Check if error occurred during the terminal initialization
    if (e.Error != null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Error during terminal initialization step: " + e.Error); return;
    }
 
    ibmTerminalControl1.IbmTerminal.HostAddress = "yourHostAddress";
    ibmTerminalControl1.IbmTerminal.Port = 23;
    ibmTerminalControl1.IbmTerminal.Connect();
}
