Question

I have a big problem, but probably it’s only big for me :). “terminal.Bind(client);” this line causes my program to hang if IP is bad. I want to stop this program after 5s working because if IP is wrong after 10s all program is hang.. 🙁

using Rebex.Net;

namespace Routers_info_v._1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Telnet client = new Telnet("192.168.1.1");  
            VirtualTerminal terminal = new VirtualTerminal(80, 25);

            terminal.Bind(client);     

            terminal.SendToServer("pass\r");
            terminal.SendToServer("sys ver\r");

            TerminalState state;
            do
            {           
                state = terminal.Process(2000);
            } while (state == TerminalState.DataReceived);

            terminal.Save("terminal.txt", TerminalCaptureFormat.Text, TerminalCaptureOptions.DoNotHideCursor);
            terminal.Unbind();
            terminal.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Try to wrap the call in a try catch (assuming some exception is thrown):

try 
{
    terminal.Bind(client);     
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    return;
}
