If you want your log file to be place at a specified location which will be decided at run time may be your project output directory then you can configure your .config file entry in that way <file type=”log4net.Util.PatternString” value=”%property{LogFileName}.txt” /> and then in the code before calling log4net configure, set the new path like … Read more
Do you have the following attribute in your AssemblyInfo.cs file: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = “Log4Net.config”, Watch = true)] and code like this at the start of each class that requires logging functionality: private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); I have a blog post containing this and other info here.
You generally should not add an app.config file to a class library project; it won’t be used without some painful bending and twisting on your part. It doesn’t hurt the library project at all – it just won’t do anything at all. Instead, you configure the application which is using your library; so the configuration … Read more
I think you’ve got the reason. I do it that way so I don’t have to worry about the class name and can just copy and paste boiler plate code in a new class. For the official answer, see: How do I get the fully-qualified name of a class in a static block? at the … Read more
This is how I got things working with version 1.2.11.0. Curse apache for changing the key in the first place 🙂 Download the version of 1.2.11.0 signed with the old key. Sort out your own code out by removing any direct references to log4net (new key) and replace with a reference to the assembly signed … Read more
1) Modify the command text: INSERT INTO Log4Net ([Date],[Thread],[Level],[Logger],[Message],[Exception],[MyColumn]) VALUES (@log_date, @thread, @log_level, @logger, @message, @exception, @CustomColumn) 2) Add the parameter definition for the custom column: <parameter> <parameterName value=”@CustomColumn”/> <dbType value=”String” /> <size value=”255″ /> <layout type=”log4net.Layout.PatternLayout”> <conversionPattern value=”%property{CustomColumn}” /> </layout> </parameter> 3) Then use one of log4net’s contexts to transfer values to the parameter: … Read more
Oddly enough, this is related to how the executables are extracted from the Nant 0.91 archive. (This made no sense to me until I actually tried it, but it does actually work…) Source : http://surfjungle.blogspot.com/2011/11/tip-running-nant-091-on-windows-7.html I found that the problem was Windows 7 security related in that the downloaded NAnt 0.91 zip file needed additional … Read more
Log4Net is a general purpose logging framework with an API intended to be used within your application (web, console, dll, etc.). logger.Debug(“Some low level debug message…”); logger.Info(“Some basic info”); logger.Warn(“Some business logic problem, but not critical”); logger.Error(“An unexpected error”); ELMAH is an unobtrusive IIS plugin specifically for logging exceptions in a web application. You won’t … Read more
Try adding <lockingModel type=”log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock” /> to your <appender /> element. There is some performance impact because this means that log4net will lock the file, write to it, and unlock it for each write operation (as opposed to the default behavior, which acquires and holds onto the lock for a long time). One implication of the … Read more
One gotcha for this type of thing is to make sure to add the XmlConfigurator attribute to the assembly by placing the following line in your AssemblyInfo.cs: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator] Otherwise log4net never activates.
