log4net and the GAC - .NET Framework

=?Utf-8?B?TWFyaw==?=

Just curious - do people work with log4net with assemblies they put in the
GAC? Without a fully qualified path, where would an assembly in the GAC be
looking? e.g.
[assembly: log4net.Config. XmlConfigurator (ConfigFile = "app.log4ne t", Watch
= true)]
indicates where to find the log4net config; usually this would be colocated
with the app.

When you put the assembly in the GAC, what is the relative location then?
Is the only option to use fully qualified paths?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm not familiar with log4net, but I think this will depend on how the
attribute interpret the ConfigFile property. If it's using current
AppDomain's base directory, then it should be able to use your program's
path regardless if the library resides in GAC or not.

Anyway, you may need to consult the log4net's documentation or refer to its
source code for more information.

Hello Mark,

Why not just add reference to the log4net from GAC and use the simple [assembly:
XmlConfigurator ()] ?

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
