I'm using this code and work very good for me!

  Try
        Dim sqltxt As String = "SELECT * FROM mplib.pfcarfib where LOTEF=" & My.Settings.loteproceso
        dt1 = New DataTable
        Dim ConAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
        ConAS400.ConnectionString = "Provider=IBMDA400;" & _
        "Data Source=192.168.100.100;" & _
        "User ID=" & My.Settings.usuario & ";" & _
        "Password=" & My.Settings.contrasena
        Dim CmdAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sqltxt, ConAS400)
        Dim sqlAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
        sqlAS400.SelectCommand = CmdAS400
        ConAS400.Open()
        sqlAS400.Fill(dt1)
        grid_detalle.DataSource = dt1
        grid_detalle.DataMember = dt1.TableName
    Catch ex As Exception
        DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraMessageBox.Show("Comunicación Con El AS400 No Establecida, Notifique a Informatica..", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        Me.Close()
    End Try
