log4net clear log file - C# / C Sharp

Dhans

Hi there,
I am using log4net in my (.net v1.1) application to log the messages. I
tried to clear the logfile while application is running. since log4net has
the file handle it did not allow me to clear/delete the file. I need to clear
the content of the log file specified in the log4net configuration file, when
it is needed in the application(suc h as some button click event), If anybody
familiar with log4net your help would be appriciated...

Hello Dhans,

I don't use log4net for several month, but there was a option of log4net
config's file where you can specify what to do with log - override or append.
Look through doc carefully

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your response. In my config I have selected append option. It is
not related to config file. I need to clear the content of the log file when
ever i need to do from the application while it is running.

Is there any newsgroup for log4net or where i can get help on that?

You could try using the RollingFileAppe nder which can switch to a
different file based on date/time or log file size.

That allows you to at least delete older logs.

log4net. Where to put BasicConfigurator.Configure() when your codespans multiple projects

by: Mr Flibble | last post by:

Hi all, I've decided to use log4net for my logging/tracing. In the example on the site it shows using main() to setup the root logger and then using the LogManager within your classes to create more loggers (subloggers). This is nice since I can use just one configuration file to control the behaviour of all the loggers within my app. This is great if I'm using a project that contains all my classes but what happens if my class is in...

log4net filtering

by: rosshinkley | last post by:

Greetings. I know that log4net supports filtering based on properties (log4net.Filter.PropertyFilter). Trouble is, I'm having trouble spotting what valid property names are. Are they intrinsic to log4net or are they defined by the appender/logger itself? I would like to filter on a method name, for example, instead of the message itself. PropertyFilter looks promising because MDCFilter and NDCFilter are supposedly deprecated in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
