        {
            if (Client.Network.Login("Avatar FirstName", "Avatar LastName", "Avatars Password", "FirstBot", "1.0"))

                // Yay we made it! let's print out the message of the day
                Console.WriteLine("You have successfully logged into Second Life!\n The Message of the day is {0}\nPress any Key to Logout", 
                    Client.Network.LoginMessage);
                
                Console.ReadLine(); // Wait for user to press a key before we continue
 
                Client.Network.Logout(); // Lets logout since we're done here
            }
            else
            {
                // tell the user why the login failed
                Console.WriteLine("We were unable to login to Second Life, The Login Server said: {0}",
                    Client.Network.LoginMessage);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Press Any Key to Exit");
            Console.ReadLine(); // Wait for user to press a key before we exit
        }
    }
}

If All went well you should have gotten a message saying you successfully logged in and the message of the day, otherwise you should get a hint at why the login failed.
