PC-DMIS Application Events via C#

So through the process of improving my app for automating pc-dmis I have undertaken the task of converting parts of my app from vbscripts to all C# code. When "interacting" with pc-dmis in previous versions, I would call the vbscripts to automate pc-dmis and wait for the script to finish before doing anything else.

Through converting my code in vbscripts to c# I have come across the problem that I don't know how to handle application events in c#. I am having trouble matching the syntax differences between vbscripts and c#.

The application event in particular i'm looking to handle is the "IsMachineConnected" event during startup of pc-dmis.

So if anyone has an example or input they'd like to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is my working code to launch pc-dmis:

Reference the Interop.Pcdlrn library and type similar to the following... (minus the class stuff).

using PCDLRN;

namespace SmartPattern_PcdApp
{
	public partial class Form1 : Form
	{
		// Globals
		ArrayList CmdItems = new ArrayList();
		PcDmisCls oPcdApp = new PcDmisCls();

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}


		private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{			
			PartProgram part = oPcdApp.Part();
			EditWindow ew = oPcdApp.editWindow;			

			oPcdApp.application.ApplicationEvents.OnSavePartProgram += new IApplicationEvents_OnSavePartProgramEventHandler(onSavePart);
			part.OnAddObject += new IPartProgramEvents_OnAddObjectEventHandler(addedObject);			

			part = null;
			ew = null;			
		}

		// Triggers when part is saved...
		void onSavePart(PartProgram prg)
		{
			// what do I put here?
			MessageBox.Show("Part Saved!");
		}

		// Triggers when an object is added
		void addedObject(Command cmd)
		{
			MessageBox.Show("Item: " + cmd.ID + " was added!");

			// Create cmds in C
		}
		}
