log4net and the GAC

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 ()] ?

Hi, anyone can help with log4net? i'm not sure i understand log4net object model properly... i'm trying to configure log4net programmatically, in order to assign different custom appenders to some custom loggers (run-time) and (i think) i've been able to add new custom loggers to the root logger of the repository. i've also added one appender for each custom logger. this is the code snippet i wrote:

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...

Folks, I'd really like to use log4net for our error logging, but I'm having two problems: 1) For certain cases, I'd like to log error and messages to text files. I tried both the regular FileAppender, as well as the RollingFileAppender, but both don't work exactly the way I'd like them to.

Hi all, I would like to implement log4net for logging my application. First let me describe in short about the application. I have a solution with two exe file outputs and several dll assemblies. And my application has a different AppDomain as it is a customization of another COM based application written in VB.NET. I have tried with App.Config files in my startup exe applications. It works fine only till the parent application is...

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...
