Contributing code is a great way to give something back to +the open source community. Before you dig right into the code there are a few guidelines that we need contributors to +follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things. + +Getting Started +--------------- + ++ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/). ++ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free). ++ If you're planning to implement a new feature it makes sense to discuss you're changes on the [dev list](https://logging.apache.org/log4net/mail-lists.html) first. This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't considered to be in Apache log4net's scope. ++ Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist. + + Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug. + + Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue. ++ Fork the repository on GitHub. + +Making Changes +-------------- + ++ Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (this is usually the master/trunk branch). ++ Make commits of logical units. ++ Respect the original code style: + + Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change. + + Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing. ++ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue. ++ Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes. ++ Run all the tests with `nant` inside the `tests` directory to assure nothing else was accidentally broken. + +Making Trivial Changes +---------------------- + +For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA. +In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number. + +Submitting Changes +------------------ + ++ Sign the [Contributor License Agreement][cla] if you haven't already. ++ Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository. ++ Submit a pull request to the repository in the apache organization. ++ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket. + +Additional Resources +-------------------- + ++ [Apache log4net JIRA project page](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET) ++ [Contributor License Agreement][cla] ++ [General GitHub documentation](https://help.github.com/) ++ [GitHub pull request documentation](https://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/) + +[cla]:https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas diff --git a/KEYS b/KEYS new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d8de1236 --- /dev/null +++ b/KEYS @@ -0,0 +1,602 @@ +This file contains the PGP keys of various Apache developers. +These keys are primarily used for code signing. + +These keys can be verified using any OpenPGP compatible system, +for example, http://www.gnupg.org. + +Developers: To add key information use: + gpg --list-keys UID + gpg --export -a UID + +(Where UID is your email address) + +The original source of this file is +https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/trunk/KEYS + +User: To import this key file into your keyring use: + gpg --import KEYS + + + + + +pub 1024D/914A4D28 2005-03-07 +uid Nicko Cadell +sub 2048g/6923CBDA 2005-03-07 + +-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- +Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) + +mQGiBEIsjHURBAC9JqRzMEh6pEZuuyqHGwfBkQZnvOuj0Yp88lDsJtNl62cRaQJk +7eP+kVxCbl12qr1EDz1z/ZON7/+vF9YoiRh7Cydck6wLe/kQcJtUevm00q35pUQJ +7c2TSY+QbTKWriUKueOyRR6p2lpscUHhbCPB9NOLfQmJvZsa47gDZSybCwCgh0+u +8KkkcovlV55K/WrSGg16o8kEAKFGmpDKDnv0Sg1rRnvBGJv5WZFR/57p1SArMXHi +oBkj71wlWz9Ia4tonfc12TXUwoVs3WbIFOoLz1Iw31cGnwUsNkvEclaZigG9iYhx +S6+2i7jrQIivO5iXJtTuePb4zFgLwZcaoFySvLIKRm8+X6KXvoslKAYM/F/Yd0jm +OebkA/4uwIt7cGOWGIaiH2n/80QgXN6FyOhNsgCihZZcPwXo7c/gtszpJ74CwtXD +SVghIwTQ0zK4wtWcHSjf7FelPmeDSga7dLgnxQmmhjIK+sBnPIcBrNiUc3jFnRzK +o3ZIBPsGoo0jUsemgkiQA4ptVybeak/SmrTsRgxWkT4Paw41zrQfTmlja28gQ2Fk +ZWxsIDxuaWNrb0BhcGFjaGUub3JnPoheBBMRAgAeBQJCLIx1AhsDBgsJCAcDAgMV +AgMDFgIBAh4BAheAAAoJEA3R7CqRSk0ooTIAnRZ+vUY+ZN8CgL0fvDbZv76kgQG+ +AJ9vp4BwPLU5jM+YOY3hJPp1bNw1RLkCDQRCLIx/EAgArSrXU4kkXNLCTBIAMaIx +diiVvQ2JqzrFkXf4yAlE+xiy19bqGewmslt+dLmLUEtt1UFMU5b2kAiZLNMvdBWQ +OStwK0SABRESjb5sAjAcFXUeqBzjVBDvsSGxJZZa5He1pQMjFzm4hG6GNl3+vOx6 +r6fly9W5Ddc8wqfDb8JU0c6gG8s10D4gthWWyJ2K1u3BcvpggoGyqyxisvF/QM68 +KnXf8/wp+5sOfl6glyluR/OyGMCU3c38eHYU2XMzlcT3fh1VcU5MvPastp+76vUy +ImrAfb7RhS3sDrmRd9ZS8FE5JRB3967hETRSLjHW+/TZeyvxaGMJkBPdv2BdwnD8 +6wADBQf+NaK8teolegPc1LdmX3bAhR2bhfqIpuUwPBRHqIU2OtWsMJ9sEsVZY4LC +OLOHMHI1spWHEo39mx3fz5MR4x2z3+HzZRq8tzMFn5PC3c7yb06CMfqRf8pvYWVP +0cMvEctViAc+xwSpZgXQGLkwZ37KtqWncfBVocxQMj4CVUx3PeyozWGEG+bpGSso +Mrvnch41AGL3NA9bA2cgTVuOYSXZLK9TOgh4gXCM4jWTI4BqTY5w0riDwqwt5+qH +e8/HBowGa4jNopl9kWaQuEoXH7GGOTJsc9eKMK+k++iqSWiqVXFTLd7/UhUPv6Oj +7Pqm7+oSumphn00rC2DVeAAWDt7umohJBBgRAgAJBQJCLIx/AhsMAAoJEA3R7CqR +Sk0ouF4An1sFuJ+/kJlvKRs+nNjFqrQdsuDCAJ9WDNgUqnAkdLVTRJq8UeK0AjOq +oQ== +=4aNz +-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- + +pub 1024D/5F6B8B72 2001-05-28 +uid Stefan Bodewig +sig 3 5F6B8B72 2001-05-28 Stefan Bodewig +sig 51898504 2002-01-11 Conor MacNeill +sig 3 F88341D9 2003-03-17 Lars Eilebrecht +sig 3 2261D073 2003-03-17 Astrid Kessler (Kess) +sig 21D0A71B 2003-03-17 Dirk-Willem van Gulik (http://www.anywi.com/ - Senior partner) +sig 75A67692 2003-03-18 Erik Abele +sig B3B2A12C 2003-05-20 ct magazine CERTIFICATE +sig 3 8103A37E 2003-04-04 Andre Malo +sig 3 5F6B8B72 2001-05-28 Stefan Bodewig +sig D6298F01 2003-04-27 Paulo Henrique Gaspar Jorge +sig 0CAA68B4 2004-11-11 Patrick Rentsch +sig 2FE28BCF 2005-07-01 Harald Wilhelm (HAWI) +sig 5793498F 2005-07-21 Tim Ellison +sig E4136392 2005-07-21 Noel J.

Posting

-
-

- Most of the guidelines for the log4net-user list also apply to the dev list. - Please have a quick read through the guidelines, thanks. -

-

- To prevent spam, we require you to be subscribed to the list before posting to it. -

-

- This is the log4net developer list, it holds discussions relating to the - development of log4net not the use of log4net. If you have a question that begins - with the word "How" or you are unsure as the the appropriate list to post to then - you probably want to start with the log4net-user list. -

-

- Post to the list by sending mail to - log4net-dev@logging.apache.org. -

-
-
-

Source Access

-
-

- The source for log4net is held in the Apache Subversion source code control repository. -

-

Browsing SVN

-
-

- Browse log4net - SVN repository using ViewCVS. -

-
-

Anonymous SVN Access

-
-

- Anyone can checkout source code from our anonymous SVN - server. To do so, simply use the following command (if you are - using a GUI SVN client, configure it appropriately). -

-

- Checkout the logging/log4net module. -

- - 
-svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/trunk log4net
- -

- If you are not familiar with SVN, the Apache - Source Code Repositories - page has links to more information on SVN. -

-
-
-

Issue Tracking

-
-

- Many bugs reported end up not being a bug in the log4net code, - but are due to incorrect configuration, problems caused by installed applications, - the operating system, etc. -

-

- Before reporting a bug please make every effort to investigate and resolve the problem yourself. - Just reporting a bug will not fix it. A good bug report includes a detailed - description of the problem and a succinct test case which can reproduce the problem. -

-

- Before reporting an issue please investigate the following information sources for - a potential resolution. -

- -

- Before reporting a bug, you are advised to discuss it on the relevant mailing list first. -

-

- Search the bug database to see if the bug - you are seeing has already been reported. If it has been reported then you can vote for the issue. -

-

Reporting an Issue

-
-

- If after you have exhausted all other resources to resolve a problem you may want to file a bug report. - Please make sure the problem is a bug in Logging and not a bug in your application. -

-

- Please make sure you provide as much information as possible. Its very hard to fix a bug if the person - looking into the problem can't reproduce it. Here is a listing of information which should be included: -

-
    -
  • Version - log4net version, or if from a nightly build, version and date of build.
    • -
  • Application Type - Assembly type, i.e. exe or dll, and how your code is launched, e.g. console application, windows application, ASP.NET project, COM+ hosted object, etc...
    • -
  • Framework - The .NET framework running the application, name (e.g. MS .NET, Mono, SSCLI) and version.
    • -
  • Platform - Computer operating system, version, and hardware platform in use.
    • -
  • Configuration - Attach configuration files if they would help track down the bug.
    • -
  • Log Files - Review your logs files, produced with internal log4net debug enabled. Submit any relevant sections of the log which help document the bug.
    • -
  • Stack Traces - Any stack traces generated by the bug, if any.
    • -
  • Example - Example configuration files or web applications which demonstrate the bug. When submitting an example which reproduces the bug, please try to make it as simple as possible.
    • -
  • Bug Fix Patch - A patch created using diff -u which fixes the bug. (If you have found a bug fix which can be applied to the code).
    • -
  • Description of the Bug - A description of the bug, include observed as well as expected behavior.
    • -
  • Miscellaneous - Any other information you feel will help track down the problem.
    • -
-

- Just reporting a bug will not fix it. A good bug report includes a detailed description of the - problem and a succinct test case which can reproduce the problem. The very best sort of report - includes an NUnit testcase which reproduces the issue, this means that we can fix it and that we can - be sure that it stays fixed in future! -

-

- Report a log4net issue here. You will need to login to JIRA before you can submit an issue. -

-
-
-

Contributing Patches

-
-

- Before starting to work on a patch it is probably a good idea to join the log4net-dev - mailing list to check that equivalent or complementary work is not already underway. -

-

- Currently the only supported way of submitting patches to log4net - is via the JIRA issue tracking system. -

-

- The preferred method of generating a patch is a unified context diff against - the latest development version in SVN. To do this you should do the following: -

-
    -
  • -

    - Get the latest version of the code from SVN, see the section above on - Anonymous SVN Access for details on how to obtain the SVN version. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - Make your code changes to the log4net source. Please follow existing - code styles where possible. If adding new API methods or classes then - these should be appropriately documented with code comments. - Contributions intended for inclusion in ASF products must be licensed - to ASF under the terms of the - Apache Software License. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - Generate a unified context diff for the files you have changed. Run the - svn diff > patch-file command from the root of the log4net - codebase to generate a diff file. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - If you have added new files these will not be included in the diff. You - will need to attach these files separately. -

    -
    • -
-

- If you are not using SVN then you can still generate a unified context diff - using the diff GNU tool with the -u command line options. - The GNU tools are available for Windows as part - of the Cygwin package. -

-

- If you are unable to generate a diff please submit each file separately and place - block comments around each code change to highlight the differences. -

-

- In order to submit your patch please follow the following steps: -

-
    -
  • -

    - Create a new issue for your patch. On the - log4net issues home page - select the Create New Issue from the menu bar. You will need to be logged - into JIRA in order to create an issue. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - Select the issue type as appropriate. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - Prefix the summary with [PATCH]. Enter a description of the changes made, - new features, or bug fixes in your patch. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - Once the issue has been created you can attach your patch file to the issue - by selecting the Attach file to this issue operation from the left hand - menu. When attaching your patch you must select the Grant license to ASF for - inclusion in ASF works option. When attaching a patch please include in the - description the baseline version of log4net you used to build your patch, if against - an SVN version please include the version number and if from a tag or branch include - the repository path. -

    -
    • -
  • -

    - If you have other files to attach, e.g. you have added new files to log4net, then - attach each file separately. Please include in the description the name of the file - attached and the path it should live in the project. -

    -
    • -
-

- A notification will be sent to the log4net-dev list once you have created your issue, - however it may also be worth mailing the log4net-dev list to encourage the project - committers to apply your patch, or at least find out when they may do so. -

log4net Project History

-    

-                                    

-                The log4net project was started by Neoworks Limited 
-                in June 2001. It was created as an internal project within Neoworks to port the Apache 
-                log4j code base to the Microsoft .NET Framework. The code base was initially branched 
-                from a pre-alpha log4j 1.2.
-            

-                                                

-                In July 2001 a Sourceforge project was started
-                and log4net was published under the Apache Software License. The first public release of
-                log4net was made in September 2001. A further 10 releases were made on the sourceforge
-                site.
-            

-                                                

-                In December 2003 the Apache Logging Services project was created. 
-                In February 2004 log4net was donated by Neoworks to the Apache Software Foundation
-                to become a member of the Logging Services project. 
-            

-                                                

-                In February 2007 log4net graduated from the Apache Incubator project to become a
-                fully fledged Apache project. Apache log4net is a subproject of the Logging Services project.
-

Introduction

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety 
-                    of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the 
-                    .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar in spirit to the original log4j 
-                    while taking advantage of new features in the .NET runtime.
-                    For more information on log4net see the features document.
-                

-                                                

-                    log4net is part of the Apache Logging Services 
-                    project. The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language logging 
-                    services for purposes of application debugging and auditing.
-

-      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
-      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
-      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
-      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
-      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
-      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-                The log4net release builds are built using NAnt. Log4net can also be built
-                using Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003, or 2005.
-            

-                                                

-                To build a release build of log4net you will need to create a strong
-                name key file. See the Strong Name section below. 
-            

-                                                    
Visual Studio

-    

-                                    

-                    Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003 and 2005 are supported build platforms for log4net.
-

-                        The log4net distribution includes a solution and project file
-                        for Visual Studio .NET 2002. Open the log4net.sln
-                        from the src directory in the distribution.
-                    

-

-                        Open the Visual Studio .NET 2002 solution file as above. 
-                        Visual Studio will convert the solution and project files
-                        to Visual Studio .NET 2003 format.
-                    

-                                                

-                        After converting the log4net project you must change the
-                        Conditional Compilation Constants specified for the
-                        log4net project. Open the project properties dialog and
-                        select the Configuration Properties/Build sheet.
-                        Replace the NET_1_0 constant with NET_1_1.
-                        Remember to do this for both Debug and Release configurations.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The log4net project file is not suitable for building log4net
-                        for the .NET Compact Framework. To build for the Compact Framework
-                        you must create a new C# project for Smart Devices. Configure the
-                        project as a library project. Add all the C# files from the 
-                        src directory in the distribution.
-                    

-                      

-                                                    
Visual Studio 2005

-    

-                                    

-                        Open the Visual Studio .NET 2002 solution file as above. 
-                        Visual Studio will convert the solution and project files
-                        to Visual Studio .NET 2003 format.
-                    

-                                                

-                        After converting the log4net project you must change the
-                        Conditional compilation symbols specified for the
-                        log4net project. Open the project properties page and
-                        select the Build sheet.
-                        Replace the NET_1_0 symbol with NET_2_0.
-                        Remember to do this for both Debug and Release configurations.
-                    

-                                                

-                        In addition the log4net project requires the following new references:
-                    

-                                                
    
-                        
  • System.Configuration
    • 
-                    

-                                                

-                        The log4net project file is not suitable for building log4net
-                        for the .NET Compact Framework. To build for the Compact Framework
-                        you must create a new C# project for Smart Devices. Configure the
-                        project as a library project. Add all the C# files from the 
-                        src directory in the distribution.
-                    

-                      

-                      

-                                                    
NAnt

-    

-                                    

-                    The log4net distribution is built using the NAnt tool.
-                    A recent NAnt version 0.85 nightly build is required to build log4net, this is 
-                    available from nant.sourceforge.net.
-                

-                                                

-                    To support building log4net for the SSCLI framework the NAnt configuration
-                    files need to be updated to specify the SSCLI framework directory.
-                

-                                                

-                    To build log4net from the command line, change directory to the root of the
-                    log4net distribution, ensure that the nant executable is in the
-                    PATH, and then run the following command:
-                

-                                                
-nant -buildfile:log4net.build compile-all

-                                                

-                    This command will build log4net for all the supported frameworks
-                    that are available on the current machine. To list all the build
-                    targets that are available run the following command:
-                

-                                                
-nant -buildfile:log4net.build -projecthelp

-                                                

-                    Under windows the build.cmd can be used 
-                    to script the nant build. This can be called from a different
-                    directory and will locate the correct log4net.build file to use.
-                    For example:
-                

-                                                
-build.cmd compile-all

-                      

-                                                    
Strong Name

-    

-                                    

-                    In order to build the Release builds of log4net a Strong
-                    Name key is required. 
-                

-                                                

-                    Use the sn.exe tool in the 
-                    .NET Framework SDK to generate a strong name key pair.
-                

-                                                
-sn -k log4net.snk

-                                                

-                    The log4net.snk file should be placed in the root of the
-                    log4net distribution, in the same folder as the log4net.build
-                    file.
-                

-

-                                    

-                    NDoc 1.3 is used to build the log4net SDK documentation.
-                    NDoc is available from ndoc.sourceforge.net.
-

HTML Documentation

-    

-                                    

-                    The log4net HTML documentation is built using Velocity.
-                    The source are XML files in the xdocs/src directory.
-                    Building the documentation requires Java, Ant, and Velocity.
-                    Run ant from within the xdocs directory.
-                

-

Overview

-    

-                                    

-                    This document presents example configurations for the built-in appenders.
-                    These configurations are designed to work with the 
-                    log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator and the
-                    log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy.
-                

-                                                

-                    These examples are by no means exhaustive configurations for the appenders.
-                    For a full list of the parameters that can be specified to each appender and
-                    more details on each options see the SDK documentation for the appender.

AdoNetAppender

-    

-                                    

-                    For full details see the SDK Reference entry: log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.
-                

-                                                

-                    The configuration of the AdoNetAppender depends on the
-                    provider selected for the target database. Here are some examples.
-                

-                                                    
MS SQL Server

-    

-                                    

-                        The following example shows how to configure the AdoNetAppender 
-                        to log messages to a SQL Server database. The events are written in batches of 100
-                        (BufferSize). The ConnectionType specifies the fully qualified type name
-                        for the System.Data.IDbConnection to use to connect to the
-                        database. The ConnectionString is database provider specific.
-                        The CommandText is either a prepared statement or a stored procedure, in this
-                        case it is a prepared statement. Each parameter to the prepared statement or stored procedure
-                        is specified with its name, database type and a layout that renders the value for the
-                        parameter.
-

-                        The database table definition is:
-

-                    The following example shows how to configure the FileAppender
-                    to write messages to a file. The file specified is log-file.txt. The file will

ForwardingAppender

-    

-

-                                                

-                    The following example shows how to configure the ForwardingAppender.
-                    The forwarding appender allows a set of constraints to be used to decorate an appender.
-                    In this example the ConsoleAppender is decorated with a Threshold of
-                    level WARN. This means that an event directed to the ConsoleAppender
-                    directly will be logged regardless of its level, but an event directed to the ForwardingAppender
-                    will only be passed on to the ConsoleAppender if its level is WARN
-                    or higher. This appender is used only in special circumstances.
-

-                                                

-                    It is unlikely that the MemoryAppender will be configured
-                    using a config file, but if you want to do it here's how.
-

NetSendAppender

-    

-                                    

-                    For full details see the SDK Reference entry: log4net.Appender.NetSendAppender.

-                                                

-                    The following example shows how to configure the NetSendAppender
-                    to deliver messages to a specific user's screen. As this appender is typically only
-                    used for important notifications a Threshold of level Error
-                    is specified. This example delivers the messages to the user nicko on the
-                    machine SQUARE. However things are not always straight forward using the Windows
-                    Messenger Service, one possible outcome using this configuration is that the Server
-                    will broadcast looking for a WINS server which it will then ask to deliver the message
-                    to the Recipient, the WINS server will deliver it to the first terminal that the
-                    user logged in from.

-                                                

-                    The following example shows how to configure the RemotingAppender
-                    to deliver logging events to a specified Sink (in this example
-                    the sink is tcp://localhost:8085/LoggingSink).
-                    In this example the events are delivered in blocks of 95 events because
-                    of the BufferSize. No events are discarded. The OnlyFixPartialEventData
-                    option allows the appender to ignore certain logging event properties that
-                    can be very slow to generate (e.g. the calling location information).
-

-                    This example configures the RemotingAppender to
-                    deliver the events only when an event with level ERROR
-                    or above is logged. When the events are delivered, up to 200 (BufferSize) 
-                    previous events (regardless of level) will be delivered to provide context.
-                    Events not delivered will be discarded.

-                    The RollingFileAppender builds on the
-                    FileAppender and has the same options
-                    as that appender.
-

-                    The following example shows how to configure the RollingFileAppender
-                    to write to the file log.txt. The file written to will always be called log.txt
-                    because the StaticLogFileName param is specified. The file will be rolled based on
-                    a size constraint (RollingStyle). Up to 10 (MaxSizeRollBackups)
-                    old files of 100 KB each (MaximumFileSize) will be kept. These rolled files will be
-                    named: log.txt.1, log.txt.2, log.txt.3, etc...

-                    to roll log files on a date period. This example will roll the log file every minute!
-                    To change the rolling period adjust the DatePattern value.
-                    For example, a date pattern of "yyyyMMdd" will roll every day.

SmtpPickupDirAppender

-    

-                                    

-                    For full details see the SDK Reference entry: log4net.Appender.SmtpPickupDirAppender.
-                

-                                                

-                    The SmtpPickupDirAppender is configured similarly
-                    to the SmtpAppender. The only difference is that rather
-                    than specify a SmtpHost parameter a PickupDir must be specified.
-                

-                                                

-                    The PickupDir parameter is a path that must exist and the code executing the
-                    appender must have permission to create new files and write to them in this directory.
-                    The path is relative to the application's base directory (AppDomain.BaseDirectory).
-                

-                                                

-                    The following example shows how to configure the SmtpPickupDirAppender
-                    to deliver log events via SMTP email. The To, From, Subject and
-                    PickupDir are required parameters.
-                    This example shows how to deliver only significant events. A LevelEvaluator
-                    is specified with a threshold of WARN. This means that an email
-                    will be sent for each WARN or higher level message that is logged.
-                    Each email will also contain up to 512 (BufferSize) previous messages of any level to
-                    provide context. Messages not sent will be discarded.
-

-                    The following example shows how to configure the TraceAppender
-                    to log messages to the System.Diagnostics.Trace system.
-                    This is the tracing system supplied with the .net base class libraries.
-                    See the MSDN documentation for the System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                    class for more details on how to configure the trace system.

Building An Example

-    

-                                    

-                        A single example can be build by running nant from
-                        the example directory.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For example running nant in the 
-                        examples\net\1.0\Tutorials\ConsoleApp\cs directory
-                        will build the C# version of the .NET 1.0 ConsoleApp example.
-                    

-                                                

-                        nant can be run in any directory containing a
-                        nant.build file. The typical behavior of the build file
-                        is to build all projects under the current directory.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For example running nant in the 
-                        examples\net\1.1 directory
-                        will build all the examples for the .NET 1.1 platform.
-                    

-                      

-                                                    
Building All Examples

-    

-                                    

-                        To build all the examples either run nant in the 
-                        examples directory or you can specify the
-                        compile-examples target to the main log4net nant build.
-

-                                    

-                        There are Visual Studio .NET 2002 project files for the .NET 1.0 framework.
-                        The solution files for C# and VB are in the examples\net\1.0
-                        folder.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For the Managed C++ project there is a Visual Studio .NET 2003 project file 
-                        in the examples\net\1.1 folder.
-

-                        so that log statements can remain in production code without incurring a 
-                        high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or rather not 
-                        logging) is crucial.
-                    

-                                                

-                        At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes 
-                        overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net (and common to all of
-                        the log4x libraries) is the notion of hierarchical 
-                        loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively control 
-                        which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity.
-                    

-                                                

-                        log4net is designed with two distinct goals in mind: speed and flexibility. There 
-                        is a tight balance between these two requirements.

Is log4net a reliable logging system?

-    

-                                    

-                        No. log4net is not reliable. It is a best-effort and fail-stop logging system.
-                    

-                                                

-                        By fail-stop, we mean that log4net will not throw unexpected exceptions at 
-                        run-time potentially causing your application to crash. If for any reason, log4net 
-                        throws an uncaught exception (except for ArgumentException and 
-                        ArgumentNullException which may be thrown), please send an email 
-                        to the 
-                        log4net-user@logging.apache.org mailing list. Uncaught exceptions 
-                        are handled as serious bugs requiring immediate attention.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Moreover, log4net will not revert to System.Console.Out
-                        or System.Console.Error when its designated 
-                        output stream is not opened, is not writable or becomes full. This avoids 
-                        corrupting an otherwise working program by flooding the user's terminal because 
-                        logging fails. However, log4net will output a single message to 
-                        System.Console.Error and System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        indicating that logging can not be performed.
-                    

-

What are the prerequisites for log4net?

-    

-                                    

-                        log4net runs on many different frameworks and each framework has its own requirements.
-                        As a rule of thumb you will need an ECMA-335 compliant CLI runtime, for example, 
-                        the Microsoft .NET runtime 1.0 (1.0.3705) or 1.1 (1.1.4322).
-                    

-                                                

-                        Not all frameworks are created equal and some features have been excluded from 
-                        some of the builds. See the Framework Support 
-                        document for more information.

-                                    

-                        There is a directory containing examples in log4net\examples. 
-                        The examples are broken down by framework.

  • 
-                            log4net can direct its output to many sinks including: a file, the console, the NT EventLog or even e-mail.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            log4net categorizes logging into levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            The format of the log output can be easily changed by implementing a new layout class.

-                        
  • 
-                            The target of the log output as well as the writing strategy can be altered by 
-                            writing a new appender class.
    • 
-

What does log output look like?

-    

-                                    

-                        The log output can be customized in many ways. Moreover, one can completely 
-                        override the output format by implementing one's own ILayout
-

-                        The first field is the number of milliseconds elapsed since the start of the

What are Loggers?

-    

-                                    

-                        The logger concept lies at the heart of log4net's configuration. Loggers are organized into a 
-                        hierarchy and give the programmer run-time control on which logging statements 
-                        are printed or not.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Loggers are assigned levels through the configuration of log4net. A log statement is 
-                        routed through to the appender depending on its level and its logger.
-                    

-

Why should I donate my extensions to log4net back to the project?

-    

-                                    

-                        Contrary to the GNU Public License (GPL) the Apache Software License does not 
-                        make any claims over your extensions. By extensions, we mean totally new code 
-                        that invokes existing log4net code. You are free to do whatever you wish with 
-                        your proprietary log4net extensions. In particular, you may choose to 
-                        never release your extensions to the wider public. For details see the
-                        Apache License, Version 2.0.
-                    

-                                                

-                        We are very careful not to unnecessarily change the log4net client API so that newer log4net 
-                        releases are backward compatible with previous versions. We are a lot less 
-                        scrupulous with the internal log4net API. Thus, if your extension is designed to 
-                        work with the internals of a specific log4net version, then when the next release
-                        of log4net comes out, you will probably need to adapt your proprietary extensions to the 
-                        new release. Thus, you will be forced to spend precious resources in order to 
-                        keep up with log4net changes. This is commonly referred to as the "stupid-tax". 
-                        By donating the code and making it part of the standard distribution, you save 
-                        yourself the unnecessary maintenance work.
-                    

-                                                

-                        If your extensions are useful then someone will eventually write an extension 
-                        providing the same or very similar functionality. Your development effort will 
-                        be wasted.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Unless the proprietary log4net extension is business critical, there is little 
-                        reason for not donating your extensions back to the project.

What should I keep in mind when contributing code?

-                        
  1. 
-                            Stick to the existing indentation style even if you hate it.
-                            
    
-                                Alternating between indentation styles makes it hard to understand the source 
-                                code. Make it hard on yourself but easier on others.
-                            
    
-                        
    2. 
-                        
  2. 
-                            Thoroughly test your code.
-                            
    
-                                There is nothing more irritating than finding the bugs in debugging (i.e. logging) code.

-                            
    
-                                It's all about the application not about logging.

What is the history of log4net?

-    

-                                    

-                        log4net is a port of the popular log4j logging library.
-                        The initial port was done in June 2001, since then we have tried to remain in the
-                        spirit of the original log4j. See the log4net history page for more details.

How can I change log behavior at runtime?

-    

-                                    

-                        Logging behavior can be set using configuration files which are parsed at runtime. 
-                        Using configuration files the programmer can define loggers and set their 
-                        levels.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Configuration files are specified in XML. See log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator
-                        for more details.
-

How do I completely disable all logging at runtime?

-    

-                                    

-                        Setting the Threshold on the Hierarchy to Level OFF will disable all
-                        logging from that Hierarchy. This can be done in the log4net configuration file
-                        by setting the "threshold" attribute on the log4net configuration element to "OFF".
-                        For example:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-<log4net threshold="OFF" />

-
-

What are the configurable options for an appender?

-    

-                                    

-                        log4net uses public properties to configure components such as
-                        Appenders, Layouts, Loggers etc.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Thus, any writable public property in on the appender corresponds to a 
-                        configurable option. For example, in RollingFileAppender the 
-                        public int MaxSizeRollBackups { set; } property corresponds to 
-                        the MaxSizeRollBackups option.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Layouts options are also defined by their writable properties. Same goes for most 
-                        other log4net components. 
-                    

-

Is it possible to direct log output to different appenders by level?

-    

-                                    

-                        Yes it is. Setting the Threshold option of any appender extending 
-                        AppenderSkeleton, (most log4net appenders extend 
-                        AppenderSkeleton) will filter out all log events 
-                        with a lower level than the value of the threshold option.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For example, setting the threshold of an appender to DEBUG will also allow INFO, 
-                        WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages to log along with DEBUG messages. (DEBUG is the 
-                        lowest level). This is usually acceptable as there is little use for DEBUG 
-                        messages without the surrounding INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages. 
-                        Similarly, setting the threshold of an appender to ERROR will filter out DEBUG, 
-                        INFO and WARN messages but not ERROR or FATAL messages.
-                    

-                                                

-                        This policy usually best encapsulates what the user actually wants to do, as 
-                        opposed to her mind-projected solution.
-                    

-                                                

-                        If you must filter events by exact level match, then you can attach a 
-                        LevelMatchFilter to any appender to filter out logging 
-                        events by exact level match.
-                    

-

Is there a way to get log4net to automatically reload a configuration file if it changes?

-    

-                                    

-                        Yes. The XmlConfigurator supports automatic 
-                        reloading through the ConfigureAndWatch APIs. See the API 
-                        documentation for more details.

Can I load an appender from another assembly?

-    

-                                    

-                        Yes. When specifying the type in the configuration file you can give the assembly
-                        qualified name of the type. For example:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-<appender name="..." type="MyNamespace.MyAppender, MyAssembly">

-
-                                                

-                        The .NET runtime will try to locate the assembly called MyAssembly.
-                        How .NET locates assemblies is beyond the scope of this FAQ.
-                    

-                                                

-                        When loading an assembly from the GAC the fully qualified assembly name,
-                        including the version, culture and public key must be specified. This is 
-                        in the standard syntax supported by System.Type.GetType.
-                        See the next FAQ on how to get the version and public key for an assembly.

How do I get the Public Key for an assembly?

-    

-                                    

-                        The fully qualified name for an assembly includes the version, culture and
-                        public key. The public key is derived from the strong name used to identify
-                        the publisher. When referencing an assembly from the GAC the fully qualified
-                        name must be used. To get the version, culture and public key you can use a
-                        tool like the excellent .NET Reflector from Lutz Roeder available from
-                        http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet.

How do I insert newlines into the layout header?

-    

-                                    

-                        Newlines in the config file need to be escaped using an XML numeric character reference.
-                        The sequence that represents a CR LF is &#13; &#10;. The following example adds
-                        a header and footer to the output each followed by a newline.
-                    

-

How do I use a pattern to set the value of a string property?

-    

-                                    

-                        Log4net supports a pattern syntax for setting string properties similar to the 
-                        PatternLayout used to format the output messages.
-                        This pattern syntax can be used by specifying type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
-                        on the string property in the config file. This tells the config parser to pass the
-                        value to the PatternString type before converting the result
-                        to a string. For details on the patterns supported see the 
-                        PatternString SDK Reference.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The following example sets the file name for a FileAppender to include the 
-                        current process id by specifying the %processid pattern in the
-                        File property.
-                    

-                                                
-    
-<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">

Implementing Logging

-    

-                                        
Are there any suggested ways for naming loggers?

-    

-                                    

-                        Yes, there are.
-                    

-                                                

-                        You can name logging loggers by locality. It turns out that 
-                        instantiating a logger in each class, with the logger name equal to the 
-                        fully-qualified name of the class, is a useful and straightforward approach of 
-                        defining loggers. This approach has many benefits:
-                    

-                                                
    
-                        
  • 
-                            It is very simple to implement.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            It is very simple to explain to new developers.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            It automatically mirrors your application's own modular design.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            It can be further refined at will.
    • 
-                        
  • 
-                            Printing the logger automatically gives information on the locality of the 
-                            log statement.
    • 
-                    

-                                                

-                        However, this is not the only way for naming loggers. A common alternative 
-                        is to name loggers by functional areas. For example, the 
-                        "database" logger, "remoting" logger, "security" logger, or the "XML" 
-                        logger.
-                    

-                                                

-                        You may choose to name loggers by functionality and subcategorize by 
-                        locality, as in "DATABASE.MyApp.MyClass" or 
-                        "DATABASE.MyApp.MyModule.MyOtherClass".
-                    

-                                                

-                        You are totally free in choosing the names of your loggers. The 
-                        log4net package merely allows you to manage your names in a hierarchy. However, 
-                        it is your responsibility to define this hierarchy.

-                        Note: by naming loggers by locality one tends to name things by 
-                        functionality, since in most cases the locality relates closely to 
-                        functionality.

How do I get the fully-qualified name of a class in a static block?

-    

-                                    

-                        You can easily retrieve the fully-qualified name of a class in a static block 
-                        for class X, with the statement typeof(X).Name. 
-                        Note that X is the class name and span an instance.
-                        However because the LogManager.GetLogger method is overloaded
-                        to take an instance of Type as well as string
-                        usually only the type of the class is required.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Here is the suggested usage template:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-public class Foo
-{
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Foo));
-    ... other code
-}

-
-                                                

-                        An equivalent and more portable solution, though slightly longer, is to use the declaring type 
-                        of the static constructor.
-                    

-                                                
-    
-public class Foo
-{
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
-    ... other code
-}

-
-                                                

-                        Note: the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 does not support System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().
-

What is the fastest way of (not) logging?

-    

-                                    

-                        For some logger log, writing,
-                    

-                                                
-    
-log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i]);

-
-                                                

-                        incurs the cost of constructing the message parameter, that is converting both 
-                        integer i and entry[i] to 
-                        a string, and concatenating intermediate strings. This, regardless of whether 
-                        the message will be logged or not.
-                    

-                                                

-                        If you are worried about speed, then write
-                    

-                                                
-    
-if(log.IsDebugEnabled) 
-{
-    log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i]);
-}

-
-                                                

-                        This way you will not incur the cost of parameter construction if debugging is 
-                        disabled for logger log. On the other hand, if the logger is 
-                        debug enabled, you will incur the cost of evaluating whether the logger is 
-                        enabled or not, twice: once in IsDebugEnabled and once in Debug. 
-                        This is an insignificant overhead since evaluating a logger takes less than 
-                        1% of the time it takes to actually log a statement.
-                    

-

What is REALLY the FASTEST way of (not) logging?

-    

-                                    

-                        So you don't think that the previous FAQ is really the fastest way
-                        of not logging? Well there is a faster way but it does have some
-                        drawbacks. Starting from: 
-                    

-                                                
-    
-if(log.IsDebugEnabled) 
-{
-    log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i]);
-}

-
-                                                

-                        It is possible to further eliminate the calls to IsDebugEnabled
-                        so that the call is only made once per logger. If you are using one logger 
-                        for each class then you can store the enabled state for the logger in a static
-                        variable in the class and then test against this variable:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-public class FastLogger
-{
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(FastLogger));
-    private static readonly bool isDebugEnabled = log.IsDebugEnabled;
-
-    public void MyMethod()
-    {
-        if(isDebugEnabled) 
-        {
-            log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i]);
-        }
-    }
-}

-
-                                                

-                        So why exactly is this faster? Well to start with the IsDebugEnabled
-                        is not called for each log statement, it is called once per logger. Furthermore as the
-                        isDebugEnabled variable is private static readonly
-                        the JIT compiler can at run-time optimize out the if test altogether. 
-                        This means that at runtime the JIT compiler won't even compile the logging statements into native code, i.e.
-                        all the logging just disappears.
-                    

-                                                

-                        So what is the downside to using this? Well one of the clever features of log4net is that
-                        you can change the logging configuration while your program is running. If you need to 
-                        investigate an issue in your application, you don't have to stop the application, setup the
-                        logging and restart the application, you can change the logging configuration and the
-                        log4net will reload it (see XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch APIs for more 
-                        information). However if the JIT has compiled out all of the logging statements
-                        then they are gone and you can't get them back by reloading the configuration file. Effectively
-                        this means that the logging configuration can only be set when the application loads and
-                        it cannot be changed at runtime. It is up to you to decide if you need ultimate speed or need
-                        to be able to reload the logging configuration while the application is running.

Can the outputs of multiple client request go to different log files?

-    

-                                    

-                        Many developers are confronted with the problem of distinguishing the log 
-                        output originating from the same class but different client requests. They come 
-                        up with ingenious mechanisms to fan out the log output to different files. In 
-                        most cases, this is not the right approach.
-                    

-                                                

-                        It is simpler to use a context property or stack (ThreadContext). 
-                        Typically, one would ThreadContext.Properties["ID"] = "XXX"
-                        client specific information, such as the client's hostname, ID or any other 
-                        distinguishing information when starting to handle the client's request. 
-                        Thereafter, log output will automatically include the context data
-                        so that you can distinguish logs from different client requests even if they 
-                        are output to the same file.
-                    

-                                                

-                        See the ThreadContext and the PatternLayout classes for more

Logger instances seem to be create only. Why isn't there a method to remove logger instances?

-    

-                                    

-                        It is quite nontrivial to define the semantics of a "removed" logger which is 
-                        still referenced by the user.

How do I get multiple process to log to the same file?

-    

-                                    

-                        By default the FileAppender holds an exclusive write 
-                        lock on the log file while it is logging. This prevents other processes from 
-                        writing to the file. The FileAppender can be configured
-                        to use a different locking model, MinimalLock, that
-                        only acquires the write lock while a log is being written. This allows multiple
-                        processes to interleave writes to the same file, albeit with a loss in performance.
-                        See the FileAppender config examples
-                        for an example MinimalLock configuration.
-                    

-                                                

-                        While the MinimalLock model may be used to interleave
-                        writes to a single file it may not be the optimal solution, especially when
-                        logging from multiple machines. Alternatively you may have one or more processes
-                        log to RemotingAppenders. 
-                        Using the RemoteLoggingServerPlugin (or 
-                        IRemoteLoggingSink) a process can receive all the events and 
-                        log them to a single log file.

If I have many processes across multiple hosts (possibly across multiple time zones) logging to the same file using the RemotingAppender, what happens to timestamps?

-    

-                                    

-                        The timestamp is created when the logging event is created. That is so say, 
-                        when the Debug, Info, 
-                        Warn, Error
-                        or Fatal method is invoked. This is unaffected by the time at 
-                        which they may arrive at a remote server. Since the timestamps are 
-                        transmitted in UTC format by the RemotingAppender, 
-                        they all appear in the same time zone as 
-                        the host creating the logfile. Since the clocks of various machines may not be 
-                        synchronized, this may account for time interval inconsistencies between events 
-                        generated on different hosts.

When should I log my first message?

-    

-                                    

-                        The simple answer is as soon as possible. The long answer is more complex.
-                    

-                                                

-                        If you are configuring log4net programmatically, i.e. by calling the 
-                        XmlConfigurator.Configure method then you should do so
-                        before you begin logging and it is reasonable to do this very soon after application
-                        start.
-                    

-                                                

-                        If you are configuring log4net by specifying assembly level attributes on 
-                        your assembly then the configuration will be loaded once the first call to
-                        the LogManager.GetLogger is made. It is necessary
-                        that the first call to LogManager.GetLogger made
-                        during the process (or AppDomain) is made from the assembly that has the
-                        configuration attributes. Log4net will look only once and only on the first 
-                        calling assembly for the configuration attributes.

Can the log output format be customized?

-    

-                                    

-                        Yes. You can implement the log4net.Layout.ILayout 
-                        interface to create you own customized log format, or you can extend the 
-                        LayoutSkeleton class which provides a default
-                        implementation of the ILayout interface.
-                        Appenders can be parameterized to use the layout of your choice.

-                        Yes. You can implement the log4net.Appender.IAppender 
-                        interface to create you own customized appender. We recommend that you extend the
-                        log4net.Appender.AppenderSkeleton class rather than
-                        starting from scratch. You should implement your custom code in a assembly
-                        separate from the log4net assembly. To get started it is worth looking at the
-                        source of the log4net.Appender.TraceAppender as an
-                        example of the minimum amount of code required to get an appender working.

-                        To configure log4net to use your custom appender you need to specify the
-                        assembly qualified name of the appender type in the config file. For
-                        example:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-<appender name="..." type="MyNamespace.MyAppender, MyAssembly">

-                        The .NET runtime will try to locate the assembly called MyAssembly.

How do I enable log4net internal debugging?

-    

-                                    

-                        There are 2 different ways to enable internal debugging in log4net.
-                        These are listed below. The preferred method is to specify
-                        the log4net.Internal.Debug option in the application's
-                        config file.
-                    

-

-                                Internal debugging can also be enabled by setting a value in the application's
-                                configuration file (not the log4net configuration file, unless the log4net config
-                                data is embedded in the application's config file). The log4net.Internal.Debug
-                                application setting must be set to the value true.
-                                For example:
-                            
    
-                            
    -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-<configuration>
-    <appSettings>
-        <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
-    </appSettings>
-</configuration>
    
-                            
    
-                                This setting is read immediately on startup an will cause all internal
-                                debugging messages to be emitted.
-

-                                To enable log4net's internal debug programmatically you need
-                                to set the log4net.Util.LogLog.InternalDebugging
-                                property to true. Obviously the sooner this
-                                is set the more debug will be produced.
-

-                                                

-                        Internal debugging messages are written to the console and to the 
-                        System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        system. If the application does not have a console the messages logged
-                        there will be lost. Note that an application can redirect the console
-                        stream by setting the System.Console.Out. The
-                        Trace system will by default send the message to an attached debugger
-                        (where the messages will appear in the output window). If the process
-                        does not have a debugger attached then the messages are sent to the 
-                        system debugger. A utility like DebugView from 
-                        http://www.sysinternals.com
-                        may be used to capture these messages.
-                    

-                                                

-                        As log4net internal debug messages are written to the System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        system it is possible to redirect those messages to a local file. You can define
-                        a trace listener by adding the following to your application's .config file:
-                    

-                                                
-<configuration>
-    ...
-    
-    <system.diagnostics>
-        <trace autoflush="true">
-            <listeners>
-                <add 
-                    name="textWriterTraceListener" 
-                    type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" 
-                    initializeData="C:\tmp\log4net.txt" />
-            </listeners>
-        </trace>
-    </system.diagnostics>
-
-    ...
-</configuration>

-                                                

-                        Make sure that the process running your application has permission 
-                        to write to this file.

Why doesn't the EventLogAppender work?

-    

-                                    

-                        If you are not getting events delivered to the event log this usually indicates 
-                        a permissions problem. Basically if the event log does not exist the EventLogAppender 
-                        tries to create it, but you need local administrator permissions to create event logs 
-                        (just to write into the right bit of the registry). You don't need administrator 
-                        permissions to log to an existing event log, but it must exist. If you are using the 
-                        event log from a web application or service using the event log can be a little tricky. 
-                    

-                                                

-                        A web application will run as the user account ASPNET. This account deliberately has 
-                        few permissions to reduce the chances of someone hacking into the web server. While the 
-                        account has permission to write to the event log it does not have permission to create 
-                        event sources (registry create and write access), which are needed to write to the event log.
-                    

-                                                

-                        There are a couple of solutions:

-                                Make the ASPNET user a member of the Administrators group. This will work because the 
-                                user will then have the required permissions. This is not recommended
-                                for production use.

-                                As the event source only needs to be created once for the machine, create an installer
-                                and configure it to create the event source. 
-                                The installer will need to be run as Administrator (don't they all). See 
-                                System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller in the Microsoft .NET

-                        The web application runs as a special user account on the web server

Why doesn't the logging in my service work?

-    

-                                    

-                        A windows service runs as a user account specified in the services
-                        control panel. This account may have restricted permissions, make 
-                        sure that the account has permission to create and write to files 
-                        in the directory chosen for logging.
-

-                        A windows service is launched by windows. The current directory in
-                        a service is set to the windows system directory (e.g. 
-                        C:\Windows\System32). If you are loading
-                        the configuration file from the current directory then be aware
-                        that this path will not be the location of your assemblies.
-                        The best way to get the path to your assemblies is to use
-                        AppDomain.BaseDirectory.
-                        Note that the log4net internals never use the current directory.

Overview

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a 
-                    variety of output targets. In case of problems with an application, 
-                    it is helpful to enable logging so that the problem can be located. 
-                    With log4net it is possible to enable logging at runtime without 
-                    modifying the application binary. The log4net package is designed so 
-                    that log statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a 
-                    high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or 
-                    rather not logging) is crucial.
-                

-                                                

-                    At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes 
-                    overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net is the notion of 
-                    hierarchical loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively 
-                    control which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity. 
-                

-                                                

-                    log4net is designed with two distinct goals in mind: speed and flexibility

Hierarchical logging architecture

-    

-                                    

-                    Hierarchical logging is an ideal fit with component based development. 
-                    Each component has its own of logger. When individually tested, the 
-                    properties of these loggers may be set as the developer requires. 
-                    When combined with other components, the loggers inherit the properties 
-                    determined by the integrator of the components. One can selectively elevate 
-                    logging priorities on one component without affecting the other components. 
-                    This is useful when you need a detailed trace from just a single component 
-                    without crowding the trace file with messages from other components. All 
-                    this can be done through configuration files; no code changes are required.             
-                

-                      

-                                                    
XML Configuration

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net is configured using an XML configuration file. The configuration 
-                    information can be embedded within other XML configuration files
-                    (such as the application's .config file) or in a separate file. The
-                    configuration is easily readable and updateable while retaining the
-                    flexibility to express all configurations.
-                

-                                                

-                    Alternatively log4net can be configured programmatically.
-                

-                      

-                                                    
Dynamic Configuration

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net can monitor its configuration file for changes and dynamically
-                    apply changes made by the configurator. The logging levels, appenders, 
-                    layouts, and just about everything else can be adjusted at runtime. 
-                    In many cases it is possible to diagnose application issues without 
-                    terminating the process in question. This can a very valuable tool in
-                    investigating issues with deployed applications.
-                

-                      

-                                                    
Logging Context

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net can be used to collect logging context data in a way that is transparent 
-                    to the developer at the point of logging. The GlobalContext and the 
-                    ThreadContext allow the application to store contextual data that is
-                    attached to logging messages. For instance, in a web service, 
-                    once the caller is authenticated the username of the caller could be 
-                    stored in a ThreadContext property. This property would then be automatically 
-                    logged as part of each subsequent logging message made from the same thread.
-                

-                      

-                                                    
Proven architecture

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net is based on the highly successful log4j logging library,
-                    in development since 1996. This popular and proven architecture has 
-                    so far been ported to 12 languages.
-

Summary of .NET frameworks supported by log4net

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net is built on a number of different frameworks. Each new version of the frameworks add
-                    new features. To take advantage of these new features we must build log4net using the
-                    appropriate framework. We also maintain builds compatible with older versions of the frameworks.
-                

-                                                

-                    It is important to remember that the .NET frameworks support backward compatibility, that is
-                    a new version of the framework will run binary assemblies that were targeted to previous versions
-                    of the framework.
-                

-                                                

-                    While the number of different builds available may seem confusing, you only need to select the
-                    nearest build for your platform that is equal to or earlier than your chosen deployment framework.
-                    If you intend to deploy your application on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 don't pick the
-                    log4net build that is built against the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 because the .NET framework
-                    does not guarantee forward compatibility only backward compatibility.
-                

-                                                

-                    The lowest common denominator build is the CLI 1.0 Compatible build. This build is compatible with
-                    the ECMA/ISO CLI 1.0 standard APIs and will run on all frameworks that support the standard. (Note
-                    that the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework does not support this standard). Use this build if you
-                    intend to deploy you application on both the Microsoft .NET Frameworks and the Mono frameworks.
-                

-                                                

-                    log4net now builds on 6 frameworks:
-

-                    For each of these frameworks a log4net assembly targeting the framework is supplied.  Although it's 
-                    perfectly possible to use the .NET Framework 1.0 version of log4net on the .NET Framework 1.1, having 
-                    an assembly that really targets a specific framework allows us to use features in that framework that 
-                    are not available in other frameworks or remove features from log4net that are not supported in a 
-                    specific framework.

-                    The appenders available to each framework depend on the functionality of the 
-                    framework and the platform it runs on:

-                                The .NET Compact Framework 1.0 does not support retrieving assembly level 
-                                attributes, therefore all log4net configuration attributes were removed from 
-                                the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 version of log4net.

-                                For Smart-device applications, the log4net system can be configured by passing 
-                                the location of the log4net configuration file to the
-                                log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(FileInfo)

-                                the LoggingEvent.Identity property will return the value

CLI 1.0 Compatible

-    

-                                    

-                        This build of log4net is designed to run on any ECMA CLI 1.0 compatible runtime.
-                        The assembly does not support any platform specific features. The build includes
-                        the common subset of functionality found in the .NET 1.0 and Mono 1.0 builds.
-                        The output assembly is built using the Microsoft .NET 1.0 compiler and library.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The log4net CLI 1.0 assembly is runtime compatible with the following frameworks:
-                    

-                                                
    
-                        
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 (and higher)
    • 
-                        
  • Mono 1.0 (and higher)
    • 
-                    

-                                                

-                        Only a Release build is generated for this configuration because the assembly
-                        debugging information has not been standardized.
-                    

-

-                Apache log4j includes Chainsaw
-                a graphical log viewer. 
-            

-                                                

-                Chainsaw can either receive and display log events in realtime over 
-                the network, or it can load a previously created log file.
-            

-                                                

-                Before Chainsaw can display data, one or more receivers must be setup. 
-                This is usually done by specifying an xml config file when the program 
-                first starts up. 

-                Save one or more of the sample xml config files to your local system and 
-                load them when Chainsaw starts.
-            

-                                                    
Logging via UDP

-    

-                                    

-                    log4net can be configured to log messages via UDP in such a way that Chainsaw
-                    can receive and display them.
-                

-                                                    
log4net UDP Configuration

-    

-                                    

-                        Configure log4net to use a UdpAppender with the following config snippet:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-<appender name="UdpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.UdpAppender">

Chainsaw UDP receiver Configuration

-    

-                                    

-                        Chainsaw should be configured to start a UDPReceiver using the 
-                        following configuration document:
-                    

-

Logging to XML file

-    

-                                    

-                    Chainsaw can also load an XML log file if it is formatted according
-                    to the log4j schema. Use the following log4net config to output
-                    to file using the log4j schema:
-                

-                                                
-    
-<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
-    <file value="log-file.txt" />
-    <appendToFile value="true" />
-    <layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
-        <locationInfo value="true" />
-    </layout>
-</appender>

-
-                                                

-                    To load the file into Chainsaw drag the file into the Chainsaw
-                    app and drop it on the tab labeled Drag & Drop log files here.
-                

-

Configuration

-    

-                                    

-                    Inserting log requests into the application code requires a fair amount of 
-                    planning and effort. Observation shows that approximately 4 percent of code is 
-                    dedicated to logging. Consequently, even moderately sized applications will 
-                    have thousands of logging statements embedded within their code. Given their 
-                    number, it becomes imperative to manage these log statements without the need 
-                    to modify them manually.
-                

-                                                

-                    The log4net environment is fully configurable programmatically. However, it is 
-                    far more flexible to configure log4net using configuration files. Currently, 
-                    configuration files are written in XML.
-                

-                                                

-                    Let us give a taste of how this is done with the help of an imaginary 
-                    application
-                    MyApp
-                    that uses log4net.
-                

-                                                
-using Com.Foo;
-
-// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-using log4net.Config;
-
-public class MyApp 
-{
-    // Define a static logger variable so that it references the
-    // Logger instance named "MyApp".
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyApp));
-
-    static void Main(string[] args) 
-    {
-        // Set up a simple configuration that logs on the console.
-        BasicConfigurator.Configure();
-
-        log.Info("Entering application.");
-        Bar bar = new Bar();
-        bar.DoIt();
-        log.Info("Exiting application.");
-    }
-}

-                                                

-                    MyApp
-                    begins by importing log4net related classes. It then defines a static logger 
-                    variable with the name
-                    MyApp
-                    which happens to be the fully qualified name of the class.
-                

-                                                

-                    MyApp
-                    uses the following
-                    Bar
-                    class:
-                

-                                                
-// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-
-namespace Com.Foo
-{
-    public class Bar 
-    {
-        private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Bar));
-
-        public void DoIt()
-        {
-            log.Debug("Did it again!");
-        }
-    }
-}

-                                                

-                    The invocation of the
-                    BasicConfigurator.Configure()
-                    method creates a rather simple log4net setup. This method is hardwired to add 
-                    to the root logger a
-                    ConsoleAppender. The output will be formatted using a
-                    PatternLayout
-                    set to the pattern
-                    "%-4timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message%newline".
-                

-                                                

-                    Note that by default, the root logger is assigned to

-                

-

-                    As a side note, let me mention that in log4net child loggers link only to their 
-                    existing ancestors. In particular, the logger named
-                    Com.Foo.Bar
-                    is linked directly to the
-                    root
-                    logger, thereby circumventing the unused
-                    Com
-                    or
-                    Com.Foo
-                    loggers. This significantly increases performance and reduces log4net's memory 
-                    footprint.
-                

-                                                

-                    The
-                    MyApp
-                    class configures log4net by invoking
-                    BasicConfigurator.Configure()
-                    method. Other classes only need to import the
-                    log4net
-                    namespace, retrieve the loggers they wish to use, and log away.
-                

-                                                

-                    The previous example always outputs the same log information. Fortunately, it 
-                    is easy to modify
-                    MyApp
-                    so that the log output can be controlled at run-time. Here is a slightly 
-                    modified version.
-                

-                                                
-using Com.Foo;
-
-// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-using log4net.Config;
-
-public class MyApp 
-{
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyApp));
-
-    static void Main(string[] args) 
-    {
-        // BasicConfigurator replaced with XmlConfigurator.
-        XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(args[0]));
-
-        log.Info("Entering application.");
-        Bar bar = new Bar();
-        bar.DoIt();
-        log.Info("Exiting application.");
-    }
-}

-                                                

-                    This version of
-                    MyApp
-                    instructs the 
-                    XmlConfigurator
-                    to parse a configuration file and set up logging accordingly. The path to the 
-                    configuration file is specified on the command line.
-

-                    based example.

-                    As the logger
-                    Com.Foo.Bar
-                    does not have an assigned level, it inherits its level from
-                    Com.Foo, which was set to WARN in the configuration 
-                    file. The log statement from the
-                    Bar.DoIt
-                    method has the level DEBUG, lower than the logger level WARN. Consequently,

-                    In addition, as the root logger has been allocated a second appender, output 
-                    will also be directed to the
-                    example.log
-                    file. This file will be rolled over when it reaches 100KB. When roll-over

-                    example.log
-                    is automatically moved to

-                    Note that to obtain these different logging behaviors we did not need to 
-                    recompile code. We could just as easily have logged to an email address, 
-                    redirected all
-                    Com.Foo
-                    output to an NT Event logger, or forwarded logging events to a remote log4net 
-                    server, which would log according to local server policy.
-

-                        Using attributes can be a clearer method for defining where the application's
-                        configuration will be loaded from. However it is worth noting that attributes
-                        are purely passive. They are information only. Therefore if you use configuration
-                        attributes you must invoke log4net to allow it to read the attributes. A simple
-                        call to LogManager.GetLogger will cause the attributes
-                        on the calling assembly to be read and processed. Therefore it is imperative
-                        to make a logging call as early as possible during the application start-up, and
-                        certainly before any external assemblies have been loaded and invoked.

Configuration Files

-                                    

-                        Typically the log4net configuration is specified using a file. This file can
-                        be read in one of two ways:
-                    

-                                                
    
-                        
  • Using the .NET System.Configuration API
    • 
-                        
  • Reading the file contents directly
    •

-                                                    
.config Files

-    

-                                    
    
-                            The System.Configuration API is only available if the
-                            configuration data is in the application's config file; the file named 
-                            MyApp.exe.config or Web.config. Because the System.Configuration 
-                            API does not support reloading of the config file the configuration settings 
-                            cannot be watched using the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch 
-                            methods. The main advantage of using the System.Configuration
-                            APIs to read the configuration data is that it requires less permissions than accessing
-                            the configuration file directly.
-                        

-                                                

-                            The only way to configure an application using the System.Configuration
-                            APIs is to call the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() method or
-                            the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(ILoggerRepository) method.
-                        

-                                                

-                            In order to embed the configuration data in the .config file the section name must be
-                            identified to the .NET config file parser using a configSections element.
-                            The section must specify the log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler
-                            that will be used to parse the config section. This type must be fully assembly qualified
-                            because it is being loaded by the .NET config file parser not by log4net. The correct
-                            assembly name for the log4net assembly must be specified.
-                            The following is a simple example configuration file that specifies the correct
-                            section handler to use for the log4net section.
-

-                            In the above example the log4net assembly is specified.
-                            This assembly must be located where the .NET runtime can find it. For example it could
-                            be located in the same directory as the application. If the log4net assembly is stored in
-                            the GAC then the fully qualified assembly name must be specified including the culture,
-                            version and public key.
-                        

-                                                

-                            When using the .config file to specify the configuration the section name and 
-                            XML element name must be log4net.
-                        

-                      

-                                                    
Reading Files Directly

-    

-                                    

-                            The XmlConfigurator can directly read any XML file and use it to configure log4net. 
-                            This includes the application's .config file; the file named MyApp.exe.config 
-                            or Web.config. The only reason not to read the configuration file directly is if the
-                            application does not have sufficient permissions to read the file, then the configuration
-                            must be loaded using the .NET configuration APIs (see above).
-                        

-                                                

-                            The file to read the configuration from can be specified using any of
-                            the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator methods that
-                            accept a System.IO.FileInfo object. Because the
-                            file system can be monitored for file change notifications the 
-                            ConfigureAndWatch methods can be used to monitor
-                            the configuration file for modifications and automatically reconfigure log4net.
-                        

-                                                

-                            Additionally the log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute
-                            can be used to specify the file to read the configuration from.
-                        

-                                                

-                            The configuration is read from the log4net element
-                            in the file. Only one log4net element can be specified
-                            in the file but it may be located anywhere in the XML hierarchy. For example it
-                            may be the root element:
-                        

-                                                
-    
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-<log4net>
-    <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender" >
-        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

-                            Or it may be nested within other elements:
-                        

-

-</configuration>

-
-                                                

-                            The above example shows how the configuration data can be embedded 
-                            inside a .config file even though the file is being read directly
-                            by log4net. An important note is that the .NET config file parser
-                            will throw an exception if it finds an element that has not been
-                            registered using the configSections element.
-                            Therefore in the above example the log4net
-                            section name is registered, but the type specified to handle the
-                            section is System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler.
-                            This is a built-in class that indicates that another method for reading
-                            the config section will be employed.
-

Configuration Syntax

-    

-                                    

-                        log4net includes a configuration reader that parses an XML DOM, the 
-                        log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator. This section defines the
-                        syntax accepted by the configurator.
-                    

-                                                

-                        This is an example of a valid XML configuration. The root element
-                        must be <log4net>. Note that this does not mean
-                        that this element cannot be embedded in another XML document. See the section above 
-                        on Configuration Files for more information
-                        on how to embed the XmlConfigurator XML in a configuration file.

-                                then we need to specify the following filters:
-                            

-

-                                The first filter will look for the substring 'database' in the message text of the event. 
-                                If the text is found the filter will accept the message and filter processing will stop, 
-                                the message will be logged. If the substring is not found the event will be passed to 
-                                the next filter to process. If there is no next filter the event would be implicitly 
-                                accepted and would be logged. But because we don't want the non matching events to be 
-                                logged we need to use a log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter
-                                that will just deny all events that reach it. This filter is only useful at the end of the filter chain.

-                                                

-                                If we want to allow events that have either 'database' or 'ldap' in the message text we can use the following filters:
-

-                Most real-world systems have to deal with multiple clients simultaneously. In a 
-                typical multithreaded implementation of such a system, different threads will 
-                handle different clients. Logging is especially well suited to trace and debug 
-                complex distributed applications. An approach to differentiate the 
-                logging output of one client from another is to instantiate a new separate 
-                logger for each client. However this promotes the proliferation of loggers and 
-                increases the management overhead of logging.
-            

-                                                

-                A lighter technique is to uniquely stamp each log request initiated from the 
-                same client interaction.
-

ScopeTypeDescription
Globallog4net.GlobalContext
-                                The global context is shared by all threads in the current AppDomain.
-                                This context is thread safe for use by multiple threads concurrently.
-                            
Threadlog4net.ThreadContext
-                                The thread context is visible only to the current managed thread.
-                            
Logical Threadlog4net.ThreadLogicalContext
-                                The logical thread context is visible to a logical thread. Logical
-                                threads can jump from one managed thread to another. For more details
-                                see the .NET API System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.

Eventlog4net.Core.LoggingEvent
-                                Each event captures the current contextual state at the time the event
-                                is generated. Contextual data can be set on the event itself. This context
-                                is only visible to the code generating the event itself.
-

Context Properties

-    

-                                    

-                    The log4net contexts store properties, i.e. name value pairs. The name is a string
-                    the value is any object. A property can be set as follows:
-                

-                                                
-    
-log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["name"] = value;
-

-
-                                                

-                    If properties with the same name are set in more than one context scope then
-                    the value in the narrowest scope (lower down in the list above) will hide the
-                    other values.
-                

-                                                

-                    The property values are stored as objects within the LoggingEvent. 
-                    The PatternLayout supports rendering the value of a named
-                    property using the %property{name} syntax. The value is 
-                    converted to a string by passing it to the log4net.ObjectRenderer.RendererMap
-                    which will locate any custom renderer for the value type. The default behavior for
-                    custom types is to call the object's ToString() method.
-                

-                                                    
Active Property Values

-    

-                                    

-                        An active property value is one who's value changes over time.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For example, imagine a custom type that implemented the 
-                        ToString() method to return the
-                        number of bytes allocated by the runtime garbage collector. 
-                    

-                                                
-    
-public class GCAllocatedBytesHelper
-{
-    public override string ToString()
-    {
-        return GC.GetTotalMemory(true).ToString();
-    }
-}

-
-                                                

-                        An instance of this type can be added to the log4net.GlobalContext 
-                        during application startup: 
-                    

-                                                
-    
-log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["GCAllocatedBytes"] = new GCAllocatedBytesHelper();
-

-
-                                                

-                        Once this property is set in the context all subsequent logging events will have a property
-                        called GCAllocatedBytes. The value of the property will be an instance of the
-                        GCAllocatedBytesHelper type. When this value is rendered to a 
-                        string by calling the ToString method the current number of bytes 
-                        allocated by the garbage collector will be returned and included in the output.
-                    

-                      

-                      

-                                                    
Context Stacks

-    

-                                    

-                    Sometimes simple key value pairs are not the most convenient way of capturing contextual
-                    information. A stack of information is a very convenient way of storing data especially
-                    as our applications tend to be stack based.
-                

-                                                

-                    The ThreadContext and LogicalThreadContext
-                    also support storing contextual data in a stack. The stack is stored in context property,
-                    therefore stacks have names and more than one stack can exist in the same context. A property
-                    value set in a narrower context would override a stack with the same property name set in a
-                    wider scoped context.
-                

-                                                

-                    The stack supports Push and Pop methods.
-                    As more contextual data is pushed onto the stack the stack grows. When the stack is rendered
-                    all the data pushed onto the stack is output with the most recent data to the right hand
-                    end of the string.
-                

-                                                

-                    As the stack is just an object stored in the context properties it is also rendered
-                    using the same PatternLayout syntax: %property{name}.
-                    Where name is the name of the stack.
-                

-                                                

-                    Calls the the stack's Push and Pop
-                    methods must be matched up so that each push has a corresponding pop. The 
-                    Push method also returns an IDisposable
-                    object that will perform the required pop operation when it is disposed. This allows
-                    the C# using syntax to be used to automate the stack management.
-                

-                                                
-    
-using(log4net.ThreadContext.Stacks["NDC"].Push("context"))
-{
-    log.Info("Message");
-}
-

-
-                                                

-                    The INFO level log has a stack stored in its NDC property. The top item in the
-                    stack is the string context.
-                    The using syntax ensures that the value context is popped off the stack
-                    at the end of the block.
-                

-                                                

-                    The using
-                    syntax is recommended because it removes some work load from the developer and 
-                    reduces errors in matching up the Push and Pop calls, especially when exceptions
-                    can occur.
-                

-                      

-                                                    
Nested Diagnostic Contexts

-    

-                                    

-                    The NDC (Nested Diagnostic Context) exists for compatibility
-                    with older versions of log4net. This helper class implements a stack which is stored
-                    in the thread context property named NDC.
-                

-                      

-                                                    
Mapped Diagnostic Contexts

-    

-                                    

-                    The MDC (MappedDiagnostic Context) exists for compatibility
-                    with older versions of log4net. This helper class implements a properties map which is 
-                    mapped directly through to the thread context properties.
-                

-                      

-                                                

-                To illustrate this point, let us take the example of a web service delivering 
-                content to numerous clients. The web service can build the NDC at the very 
-                beginning of the request before executing other code. The contextual 
-                information can be the client's host name and other information inherent to the 
-                request, typically information contained in cookies. Hence, even if the web 
-                service is serving multiple clients simultaneously, the logs initiated by the 
-                same code, i.e. belonging to the same logger, can still be distinguished 
-                because each client request will have a different NDC stack. Contrast this with 
-                the complexity of passing a freshly instantiated logger to all code exercised 
-                during the client's request.
-            

-                                                

-                Nevertheless, some sophisticated applications, such as virtual hosting web 
-                servers, must log differently depending on the virtual host context and also 
-                depending on the software component issuing the request. Log4net supports 
-                multiple logger repositories. This would allow each virtual host to possess its own copy 
-                of the logger hierarchy. Configuring multiple logger hierarchies is beyond the 
-                scope of this document.

Performance

-                                    

-                    One of the often-cited arguments against logging is its computational cost. 
-                    This is a legitimate concern as even moderately sized applications can generate 
-                    thousands of log requests. Much effort was spent measuring and tweaking logging 
-                    performance. Log4net claims to be fast and flexible: speed first, flexibility 
-                    second.
-                

-                                                

-                    The user should be aware of the following performance issues.
-                

-

  1. 
-                        Logging performance when logging is turned off.
-                        
    
-                            When logging is turned off entirely or just for a set of levels, the cost of a 
-                            log request consists of a method invocation plus an integer comparison.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            However, The method invocation involves the "hidden" cost of parameter 
-                            construction.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            For example, for some logger
-                            log, writing,
-                        
    
-                        
    -log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i].ToString());
    
-                        
    
-                            incurs the cost of constructing the message parameter, i.e. converting both 
-                            integer
-                            i
-                            and
-                            entry[i]
-                            to strings, and concatenating intermediate strings, regardless of whether the 
-                            message will be logged or not. This cost of parameter construction can be quite 
-                            high and it depends on the number and type of the parameters involved.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            To avoid the parameter construction cost write:
-                        
    
-                        
    -if(log.IsDebugEnabled)
-{
-    log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i].ToString());
-}
    
-                        
    
-                            This will not incur the cost of parameter construction if debugging is 
-                            disabled. On the other hand, if the logger is debug-enabled, it will incur 
-                            twice the cost of evaluating whether the logger is enabled or not: once in
-                            IsDebugEnabled
-                            and once in
-                            Debug. This is an insignificant overhead because 
-                            evaluating a logger takes about 1% of the time it takes to actually log.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            Certain users resort to pre-processing or compile-time techniques to compile 
-                            out all log statements. This leads to perfect performance efficiency with 
-                            respect to logging. However, since the resulting application binary does not 
-                            contain any log statements, logging cannot be turned on for that binary. In 
-                            many people's opinion this is a disproportionate price to pay in exchange for a 
-                            small performance gain.
-

  2. 
-                        The performance of deciding whether to log or not to log when logging is 
-                            turned on.
-                        
    
-                            This is essentially the performance of walking the logger hierarchy. When 
-                            logging is turned on, log4net still needs to compare the level of the log 
-                            request with the level of the request logger. However, loggers may not have an 
-                            assigned level; they can inherit them from the logger hierarchy. Thus, before 
-                            inheriting a level, the logger may need to search its ancestors.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            There has been a serious effort to make this hierarchy walk to be as fast as 
-                            possible. For example, child loggers link only to their existing ancestors. In 
-                            the
-                            BasicConfigurator
-                            example shown earlier, the logger named
-                            Com.Foo.Bar
-                            is linked directly to the root logger, thereby circumventing the nonexistent
-                            Com
-                            or
-                            Com.Foo
-                            loggers. This significantly improves the speed of the walk, especially in 
-                            "sparse" hierarchies.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            The typical cost of walking the hierarchy is typically 3 times slower than when 
-                            logging is turned off entirely.
-

-                        Actually outputting log messages
-                        
    
-                            This is the cost of formatting the log output and sending it to its target 
-                            destination. Here again, a serious effort was made to make layouts (formatters) 
-                            perform as quickly as possible. The same is true for appenders.
-

-                                                

-                    Although log4net has many features, its first design goal was speed. Some 
-                    log4net components have been rewritten many times to improve performance. 
-                    Nevertheless, contributors frequently come up with new optimizations. You 
-                    should be pleased to know that when configured with the
-                    SimpleLayout
-                    performance tests have shown log4net to log within an order of magnitude of
-                    System.Console.WriteLine.
-

Logging Event Flow

-    

-                                    

-                    The following is the series of steps and checks that a messages goes through while being logged.
-                    For the purposes of this example we will document an INFO level
-                    message being logged on logger ConsoleApp.LoggingExample. This logger is configured
-                    to use the log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender. The repository used
-                    in this example is a log4net.Repository.Hierarchy object.
-                

-                                                
    
-                    
  1. 
-                        
    
-                            The user logs a message using the ILog.Info method on the logger
-                            obtained using a call to log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ConsoleApp.LoggingExample").
-                            For example: log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ConsoleApp.LoggingExample").Info("Application Start");
-                            The ILog interface is actually an extension to log4net that provides level 
-                            specific logging methods (i.e. Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal).
-

-

-                        
    
-                            The message is then logged through to the ILogger.Log method on the 
-                            appropriate log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger object. The 
-                            ILogger.Log method takes the Level to
-                            log at as a parameter and therefore works for all levels.
-

-                            The repository threshold level is compared to the message level to determine if the message 
-                            can be logged. If the message level is below the threshold level the message is not logged.
-                            In this case the repository is a log4net.Repository.Hierarchy object.

-                            message can be logged. Note that the Logger level is inherited from a 
-                            parent Logger if not specified explicitly for this Logger.
-                            If the message level is below the Logger level the message is not logged.

-                            The LoggingEvent object is passed to the 
-                            IAppender.DoAppend method for each appender.

-                            The appender threshold level is compared to the message level to determine if the message 
-                            can be logged. If the message level is below the threshold level the message is not logged.
-

-                            If the appender has a filter chain the LoggingEvent is passed down the 
-                            filter chain which can decide if the message can be logged or not.

-                            Next an appender specific check is performed. Usually this check will verify that all the 
-                            required properties are set for the appender (e.g. a Layout is set if required).

-                            The ConsoleAppender uses a Layout to 
-                            format the message as a string for display.

-                            The Layout uses the LoggingEvent.RenderedMessage
-                            property to get the string for the message object. This uses the registered 
-                            IObjectRenderer for the type of the message object.

Overview

-                                    

-                    This document is based on Short introduction to log4j by Ceki Glc.
-                

-                                                

-                    The log4net framework is based on log4j, see 
-                        http://logging.apache.org/log4j for more information on log4j.

-                    This document is an introduction to the log4net API, its unique features and 
-                    design rationale. Log4net is an open source project based on the work of many 
-                    authors. It allows the developer to control which log statements are output 
-                    with arbitrary granularity. It is fully configurable at runtime using external 
-                    configuration files.
-                

-                                                

-                    Almost every large application includes its own logging or tracing API. 
-                    Inserting log statements into code is a low-tech method for debugging it. It 
-                    may also be the only way because debuggers are not always available or 
-                    applicable. This is usually the case for multithreaded applications and 
-                    distributed applications at large.
-                

-                                                

-                    Once an application has been deployed it may not be possible to utilize 
-                    development and debugging tools. An administrator can use effective logging 
-                    systems to diagnose and fix many configuration issues.
-                

-                                                

-                    Experience indicates that logging is an important component of the development 
-                    cycle. It offers several advantages. It provides precise context about the 
-                    execution of the application. Once inserted into the code, the generation of 
-                    logging output requires no human intervention. Moreover, log output can be 
-                    saved in persistent medium to be studied at a later time. In addition to its 
-                    use in the development cycle, a sufficiently rich logging package can also be 
-                    viewed as an auditing tool.
-                

-                                                

-                    Logging does have its drawbacks. It can slow down an application. If too 
-                    verbose, it can cause scrolling blindness. To alleviate these concerns, log4net 
-                    is designed to be reliable, fast and extensible. Since logging is rarely the 
-                    main focus of an application, the log4net API strives to be simple to 
-                    understand and to use.

Frameworks

-                                    

-                    Log4net is available for several frameworks. For each supported framework an

Loggers and Appenders

-    

-                                    

-                    Log4net has three main components: loggers, appenders and layouts. 
-                    These three types of components work together to enable developers to log 
-                    messages according to message type and level, and to control at runtime how 
-                    these messages are formatted and where they are reported. These components are
-                    helped by filters that control the actions of the appender and
-                    object renderers that turn objects into strings.
-                

-                                                    
Logger hierarchy

-    

-                                    

-                        The first and foremost advantage of any logging API over plain
-                        System.Console.WriteLine
-                        resides in its ability to disable certain log statements while allowing others 
-                        to print unhindered. This capability assumes that the logging space, that is, 
-                        the space of all possible logging statements, is categorized according to some 
-                        developer-chosen criteria.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Loggers are named entities. Logger names are case-sensitive and they follow the 
-                        following hierarchical naming rule:
-                    

-                                                

-                        
Named Hierarchy

-                        

-                            

-                                A logger is said to be an ancestor of another logger if its name 
-                                followed by a dot is a prefix of the descendant logger name. A logger is 
-                                said to be a parent of a child logger if there are no ancestors 
-                                between itself and the descendant logger.
-                            

-                            

-                                The hierarchy works very much in the same way as the namespace and class 
-                                hierarchy in .NET. This is very convenient as we shall soon see.
-                            

-                        

-                    

-                                                

-                        For example, the logger named
-                        "Foo.Bar"
-                        is a parent of the logger named
-                        "Foo.Bar.Baz". Similarly,
-                        "System"
-                        is a parent of
-                        "System.Text"
-                        and an ancestor of
-                        "System.Text.StringBuilder". This naming scheme 
-                        should be familiar to most developers.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The root logger resides at the top of the logger hierarchy. It is exceptional 
-                        in three ways:
-                    

-

  1. 
-                            It always exists
    2. 
-                        
  2. 
-                            It cannot be retrieved by name
    3. 
-                        
  3. 
-                            It always has an assigned level
    4. 
-                    

-                                                

-                        Loggers are retrieved using the static method from the
-                        log4net.LogManager
-                        class. The
-                        GetLogger
-                        methods take the name of the desired logger as a parameter. They are listed 
-                        below:
-

-                        parameter uses the fully qualified type name as the name of the logger to 
-                        retrieve.
-

-                        These
-                        GetLogger
-                        methods return an

-                        Loggers may be assigned levels. Levels are instances of the

-                                The inherited level for a given logger X, is equal to the first

-                        having an assigned level.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Logging requests are made by invoking one of the printing methods of a logger 
-                        instance (through the log4net.ILog). These printing methods are
-                        Debug,
-                        Info,
-                        Warn,
-                        Error, and
-                        Fatal.
-                    

-                                                

-                        By definition, the printing method determines the level of a logging request. 
-                        For example, if
-                        log
-                        is a logger instance, then the statement
-                        log.Info("..")
-                        is a logging request of level INFO.
-                    

-                                                

-                        A logging request is said to be enabled if its level is higher than or 
-                        equal to the level of its logger. Otherwise, the request is said to be disabled. 
-                        A logger without an assigned level will inherit one from the hierarchy. This 
-                        rule is summarized below.
-

-                        
Basic Selection Rule

-                        

-                            

-                                A log request of level L in a logger with (either assigned or inherited, 
-                                whichever is appropriate) level K, is enabled if L >= K.
-                            

-                        

-                    

-                                                

-                        This rule is at the heart of log4net. It assumes that levels are ordered. For 
-                        the standard levels, we have
-                        DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Calling the
-                        log4net.LogManager.GetLogger
-                        method with the same name will always return a reference to the exact same 
-                        logger object.
-                    

-                                                

-                        For example, in:
-                    

-                                                
-    
-ILog x = LogManager.GetLogger("wombat");
-ILog y = LogManager.GetLogger("wombat");

-
-                                                

-                        x
-                        and
-                        y
-                        refer to exactly the same logger object.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Thus, it is possible to configure a logger and then to retrieve the same 
-                        instance somewhere else in the code without passing around references. In 
-                        fundamental contradiction to biological parenthood, where parents always 
-                        precede their children, log4net loggers can be created and configured in any 
-                        order. In particular, a "parent" logger will find and link to its descendants 
-                        even if it is instantiated after them.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Configuration of the log4net environment is typically done at application 
-                        initialization. The preferred way is by reading a configuration file. This 
-                        approach will be discussed shortly.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Log4net makes it easy to name loggers by software component. This can be 
-                        accomplished by statically instantiating a logger in each class, with the 
-                        logger name equal to the fully qualified name of the class. This is a useful 
-                        and straightforward method of defining loggers. As the log output bears the 
-                        name of the generating logger, this naming strategy makes it easy to identify 
-                        the origin of a log message. However, this is only one possible, albeit common, 
-                        strategy for naming loggers. Log4net does not restrict the possible set of 
-                        loggers. The developer is free to name the loggers as desired.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Nevertheless, naming loggers after the class where they are located seems to be 
-                        the best strategy known so far. It is simple an obvious to the developers where 
-                        each log message came from. Most importantly it leverages the design of the 
-                        application to produce the design of the logger hierarchy. Hopefully some 
-                        thought has gone into the design of the application.

Appenders

-    

-                                    

-                        The ability to selectively enable or disable logging requests based on their 
-                        logger is only part of the picture. Log4net allows logging requests to print to 
-                        multiple destinations. In log4net speak, an output destination is called an appender.
-                        Appenders must implement the log4net.Appenders.IAppender
-                        interface.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The following appenders are defined in the log4net package:
-                    

-                                                

-                        
-                            
-                                
-

-                        More than one appender can be attached to a logger.
-                    

-                                                

-                        
-                            Each enabled logging request for a given logger will be forwarded to all 
-                            the appenders in that logger as well as the appenders higher in the hierarchy.
-                        
-                        In other words, appenders are inherited additively from the logger hierarchy. 
-                        For example, if a console appender is added to the root logger, then all 
-                        enabled logging requests will at least print on the console. If in addition a 
-                        file appender is added to a logger, say X, then enabled logging requests 
-                        for X and X's children will print on a file and on the 
-                        console. It is possible to override this default behavior so that appender 
-                        accumulation is no longer additive by setting the additivity flag on the logger 
-                        to
-                        false.

-                        The rules governing appender additivity are summarized below.

Appender Additivity

-                        

-                            

-                                The output of a log statement of logger X will go to all the appenders 
-                                in X and its ancestors. This is the meaning of the term "appender 
-                                additivity".
-                            

-                            

-                                However, if an ancestor of logger X, say Y, has the additivity 
-                                flag set to
-                                false, then X's output will be directed to all 
-                                the appenders in X and it's ancestors up to and including Y but 
-                                not the appenders in any of the ancestors of Y.
-                            

-                            

-                                Loggers have their additivity flag set to
-                                true
-                                by default.

Filters

-    

-                                    

-                        Appenders can filter the events that are delivered to them. The filters can be 
-                        specified in the configuration to allow fine control of the events that are 
-                        logged through different appenders.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The simplest form of control is to specify a
-                        Threshold
-                        on the appender. This works by logging only the events that have a level that 
-                        is greater than or equal to the threshold.
-                    

-                                                

-                        More complex and custom event filtering can be done using the filter chain 
-                        defined on each appender. Filters must implement the
-                        log4net.Filter.IFilter interface.

Layouts

-                                    

-                        More often than not, users wish to customize not only the output destination 
-                        but also the output format. This is accomplished by associating a layout 
-                        with an appender. The layout is responsible for formatting the logging request 
-                        according to the user's wishes, whereas an appender takes care of sending the 
-                        formatted output to its destination. The
-                        PatternLayout, part of the standard log4net 
-                        distribution, lets the user specify the output format according to conversion 
-                        patterns similar to the C language
-                        printf
-                        function.

-                                                

-                        For example, the PatternLayout with the conversion pattern
-                        "%timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline"
-                        will output something akin to:

-                        The first field is the number of milliseconds elapsed since the start of the

-                        is the level of the log statement. The fourth field is the name of the logger 
-                        associated with the log request. The text after the '-' is the message of the 
-                        statement.

Object Renderers

-                                    

-                        Just as importantly, log4net will render the content of the log message 
-                        according to user specified criteria. For example, if you frequently need to 
-                        log
-                        Oranges, an object type used in your current project, 
-                        then you can register an
-                        OrangeRenderer
-                        that will be invoked whenever an orange needs to be logged.
-                    

-                                                

-                        Object rendering follows the class hierarchy. For example, assuming oranges are 
-                        fruits, if you register an
-                        FruitRenderer, all fruits including oranges will be 
-                        rendered by the
-                        FruitRenderer, unless of course you registered an 
-                        orange specific
-                        OrangeRenderer.
-

-                    Plugins are additional modular components that are attached to a logger repository.
-                

-                                                

-                    Plugins are stored in the PluginMap of an
-                    ILoggerRepository. 
-                    Plugins are attached to the repository by using the PluginMap.Add
-                    method.
-                

-

-                            Creates a remote logging sink that can receive logging events from a 
-                            RemotingAppender.

-                        
    
-                            Creates a remoting logging sink. A single
-                            parameter must be passed to the constructor that specifies the sink URI. This is a
-                            name used to identify the logging sink object published via remoting and must be
-                            agreed with the client before communication can take place.

-                                Specifies a plugin type to create and attach to the default repository. This attribute 
-                                does not allow plugins to be parameterized. The plugin class must have a public default constructor.
-

-                                This attribute may be used as many times as necessary to attach plugins to the repository.

-                    By default there is a single logging repository per process (more precisely per AppDomain). This extends
-                    across all assemblies loaded into the process and allows them to all share a
-                    single configuration. The configuration of the repository only needs to be done once,
-                    typically in the entry point to the application, either programmatically or using 
-                    a configuration attribute.
-                

-                                                

-                    Named logging repositories can be created using the LogManager.CreateRepository
-                    method. The repository for can be retrieved using the 
-                    LogManager.GetRepository method.
-                    A repository created in this way will need to be configured programmatically.
-

Attributes

-                                    

-                        An assembly may choose to utilize a named logging repository rather than the default repository.
-                        This completely separates the logging for the assembly from the rest of the application.
-                        This can be very useful to component developers that wish to use log4net for their
-                        components but do not want to require that all the applications that use their
-                        component are aware of log4net. It also means that their debugging configuration is
-                        separated from the applications configuration. The assembly should specify the
-                        RepositoryAttribute to set its logging repository.
-                    

-                                                

-                        The log4net logging repositories can be configured using the following assembly-level 
-                        attributes:
-                    

-

-                            AliasRepositoryAttribute
-                            
    
-                                Specifies a named repository to use as this assembly's repository.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                An assembly's logger repository is defined by its
-                                RepositoryAttribute, however this can be overridden by an 
-                                assembly loaded before the target assembly.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                An assembly can alias another assembly's repository by specifying 
-                                this attribute with the name of the target repository.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                This attribute may be used as many times as necessary to alias all the required 
-                                repositories.
-

-                                Specifies the logging repository for the assembly.

-                                Assemblies are mapped to logging repositories. This attribute controls the configuration of the repository. The
-                                Name property specifies the name of the repository 
-                                for this assembly. The RepositoryType
-                                property specifies the type of the repository object to create for the assembly. 
-                                If this attribute is not specified and a Name
-                                is not specified then the assembly will be part of the default shared logging 
-                                repository.
-

-                                This attribute may only be used once per assembly.

-                                Renamed AdoNetAppender, AspNetTraceAppender,

-                                for code that programmatically creates a type that has been renamed.

-                                rather than return a string. This increases performance and reduces temporary object creation.

-                                The XML config parser no longer supports decoding C style escape sequences in strings.
-                                Previously sequences like \n and \\ 
-                                where decoded. Instead use the appropriate XML encodings as required.

    New CLI build
    
-                            
    
-                                A new log4net assembly is built that targets all CLI 1.0 compatible runtimes.
-                                This build is essentially a common subset of the Mono 1.0 and .NET 1.0 builds.
-                                It is built using the MS .NET 1.0 compiler and libraries but does not use any
-                                platform specific APIs.
-

    Logging contexts
    
-                            
    
-                                Logging contexts can be used to record contextual data that is relevant to the current
-                                process. Logging contexts are both an extension of the concepts embodied in the
-                                MDC and NDC and a replacement for
-                                them. The MDC and NDC have been
-                                reimplemented to use the ThreadContext as storage.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                The logging contexts provide a single unified view that cuts across different
-                                scopes within an application.
-                                The contexts are layered in the following order of narrowing scope: 
-                                GlobalContext, ThreadContext, 
-                                LogicalThreadContext, and LoggingEvent.
-                                Context values specified in a narrower scope hide the matching value in a wider scope.

    PatternLayout customization and long pattern names

-                                The PatternLayout now supports long pattern names.
-                                These pattern names are significantly more readable than the single character patterns.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                The PatternLayout now supports custom patterns. New patterns
-                                can be defined in the config file:
-                            
    
-

-
-  <conversionPattern value="%-5level %logger - %myConverter - %message%newline" />
-</layout>
    
-                            
    
-                                The above config defines a custom pattern called myConverter
-                                which is bound to the TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp
-                                type. This type must extend the log4net.Util.PatternConverter
-                                base class. The custom pattern can then be used in the pattern string.
-

    PatternString for pattern based configuration
    
-                            
    
-                                A new pattern based type, PatternString, can be used in
-                                the config file to set string properties using a pattern syntax. For example the
-                                File property of the FileAppender could be set as follows:
-                            
    
-

-  <conversionPattern value="%folder{LocalApplicationData}\log-file.txt" />
-</file>

-                                The code for the SpecialFolderPatternConverter
-                                is as follows:
-                            
                
-                            
    -public class SpecialFolderPatternConverter : log4net.Util.PatternConverter 
-{
-  override protected void Convert(System.IO.TextWriter writer, object state) 
-  {
-    Environment.SpecialFolder specialFolder = 
-      (Environment.SpecialFolder)Enum.Parse(typeof(Environment.SpecialFolder), base.Option, true);

-                                XmlConfiguratorAttribute. If a relative config file
-                                or extension is specified then this is resolved relative to the deployment
-                                URI.

    Config file parser enhancements
    
-                            
    
-                                The config file parser has been enhanced to support specifying the property subtype, or intermediate type, 
-                                directly on the property element, for example:
-                            
    
-

-                                Implicit conversion will be attempted between the value string and the type specified, 
-                                and then again between the type and the target property type.

-                                configured to use a separate security context when accessing these resources.
-                                The calling thread may not have appropriate privileges to access the resource a
-                                custom SecurityContext can be used to elevate the
-                                privileges of the appender. The WindowsSecurityContext 
-                                is used to specify alternative credentials on the Windows platform.

-                                        The AnsiColorTerminalAppender writes events to 
-                                        the application's ANSI terminal window. It can be configured to specify 
-                                        the text and background colors for different level events. Note that Console
-                                        applications running on Windows do not have an ANSI terminal window and
-                                        should use the ColoredConsoleAppender instead.

-                                        logging messages back to the client. The output is provided in a telnet-friendly way 
-                                        so that a log can be monitored over a TCP/IP socket. 
-                                        This allows simple remote monitoring of application logging.

    Pluggable file locking models for the FileAppender

-                                locking models. The default model, ExclusiveLock, 
-                                maintains the current exclusive file locking behavior. An alternative
-                                model, MinimalLock, can be used to support writing to
-                                a single output file from multiple processes.

-                            The builds for each framework can now be differentiated
-                            by the assembly title. This includes the name of the framework

    New Layout: XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j
    
-                        
    
-                            This new layout formats the logging events as XML which complies with
-                            the log4j event dtd. This can be used to transfer log event from log4net
-                            to log4j. Currently the only appender that can communicate directly with
-                            log4j is the UdpAppender.

-                            to what was previously available. If you were previously specifying the DomainAttribute.UseDefaultDomain
-                            property then you should remove it, and if the default behavior is now 
-                            sufficient, you do not need to specify the DomainAttribute at all.

-                            Appenders can add additional information to the events they are logging. The RemotingAppender
-                            and the SMTPAppender both add a 'hostname' property to the events. 
-                            These properties can be accessed using the PatternLayout with the 
-                            %P{name} syntax.

    Updated the core log4net framework to work in an environment with no 
-                            permissions
    
-

    Added support for domain aliasing using the AliasDomainAttribute
    
-                        
    This allows a parent assembly to take control of the logging domain for child 
-                            assemblies.

    Added LevelMap to the ILoggerRepository interface
    
-                        
    The mapping from level name to level object is now repository specific, 
-                            therefore each repository can have independent mappings.

    Moved hierarchy specific config file parser to new DOMHierarchyConfigurator class
    
-                        
    This is controlled by the Hierarchy object and allows for better 
-                            encapsulation.

    Added OnlyFixPartialEventData property to the buffered appenders
    
-                        
    This setting causes slow settings to be ignored. This significantly improves the 
-                            performance of the buffered appenders.

    Split Category class into Logger and LogManager classes
    
-                        
    
-                            The instance methods from Category have moved to the Logger
-                            class. The static methods from Category have moved to the LogManager
-                            class. The Category class still exists but for backward 
-                            compatibility only. Changed interface ICategoryFactory to ILoggerFactory
-                            and the implementation class DefaultCategoryFactory to DefaultLoggerFactory.

    Replaced Priority class with Level class
    
-                        
    
-                            The Priority class has been replaced by the Level class. 
-                            The Priority class still exists for backward compatibility only. 
-                            The Level class implements a static pool of Level objects. 
-                            The Level class is sealed and serializable.

    Added ILoggerRepository interface implemented by Hierarchy
    
-                        
    
-                            The Hierarchy class implements the ILoggerRepository interface. 
-                            This interface is used by the LogManager class and therefore 
-                            allows different implementations of ILoggerRepository to be used.

-                            All the NUnit tests can be run using a single TestSuite: NUnitGUI

    Added support for serializing LoggingEvents
    
-                        
    
-                            The LoggingEvent class is serializable. All local state is 
-                            captured before serialization occurs. This now allows LoggingEvent 
-                            objects to be serialized between applications or machines.

-                            Delivers LoggingEvents to a remote interface. This can be used to 
-                            collect distributed logging into a single log file. There is an example 
-                            remoting sink that receives the logging events, see examples\net\remoting\RemotingServer
-                            for details.

-                            The IObjectRenderer interface method DoRender now 
-                            takes a RendererMap argument. This allows the renderer to use the 
-                            appropriate renderer from the RendererMap to render any nested 
-                            objects.

    Added support for rendering exceptions
    
-                        
    
-                            The DefaultRenderer now has support for rendering exceptions to a 
-                            string. This includes nested exceptions. The RendererMap is now 
-                            used to render exceptions in the LoggingEvent. This allows the 
-                            rendering of specific exceptions to be enhanced by specific renderers.

    Added ITriggeringEventEvaluator interface
    
-                        
    
-                            This interface is used by SMTPAppender and RemotingAppender
-                            to determine if a LoggingEvent meets a set of user defined 
-                            criteria. These appenders use the interface to determine whether or not to 
-                            deliver the current buffer of events to their listener. The interface is 
-                            implemented by the LevelEvaluator class, which triggers above a 
-                            set level.

-                            The MDCFilter, NDCFilter and StringMatchFilter
-                            can now be configured to use regex matches in addition to substring matches. 
-                            Set the RegexToMatch property to use this feature.

-                            emits an XML element for each LoggingEvent. This allows logging 
-                            events to be stored and manipulated as XML. The DTD for the XML emitted is in 
-                            the log4net-events.dtd

-                            replaced by the Logger and Level classes. The DOMConfigurator
-                            has been updated to allow the <logger> and <level>
-                            elements to be used in place of the <category> and <priority>
-                            elements. The old elements are still accepted for backward compatibility.

    Added support for logging domains
    
-                        
    
-                            The LogManager supports multiple logging domains. The LogManager
-                            uses an instance of the IRepositorySelector class to map from 
-                            domains to ILoggerRepository instances. The default implementation 
-                            is to have a separate ILoggerRepository for each domain. When a 
-                            call is made to the static methods on LogManager the domain can be 
-                            specified (as a string) or the domain can be inferred automatically from the 
-                            calling assembly. The default behavior is for each assembly loaded into the 
-                            process to have its own domain and ILoggerRepository. These can 
-                            each be configured separately. This allows standalone assemblies to use log4net 
-                            without conflicting with other modules in the process. The domain for the 
-                            assembly is configured using metadata attributes defined on the assembly.

-                log4net user support is provided via a mailing list. Discussion on log4net is held on the
-                log4net-user mailing list. Please search the archives before posting because it
-                is likely that your question has been answered before.

-                            Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved
-                            in it. You are welcome to join any of our mailing lists.  You can
-                            choose to lurk, or actively participate; it's up to you.  The level of
-                            community responsiveness to specific questions is generally directly
-                            proportional to the amount of effort you spend formulating your
-                            question. Eric Raymond and Rick Moen have even written an essay entitled 
-                            "Asking Smart Questions"
-                            precisely on this topic.

-                            Keep your email short and to the point
    
-                            If your email is more than about a page of text, chances are that it
-                            won't get read by very many people. It is much better to try to pack a
-                            lot of informative information (see above about asking smart questions)
-                            into as small of an email as possible. If you are replying to a previous
-                            email, it is a good idea to only quote the parts that you are replying
-                            to and to remove the unnecessary bits. This makes it easier for people
-                            to follow a thread as well as making the email archives easier to search
-                            and read.

-                            Do your best to ensure that you are not sending HTML or "Stylelized" email to the list
    
-                            If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express or Eudora, chances are that
-                            you are sending HTML email by default. There is usually a setting that
-                            will allow you to send "Plain Text" email. If you are using Microsoft
-                            products to send email, there are several bugs in the software that
-                            prevent you from turning off the sending of HTML email. Please read this
-                            page as well.

-                            Our mailing lists have set the Reply-To to go back to the 
-                            list. That means that when you Reply to a message, it will go to the list
-                            and not to the original author directly. The reason is because it helps
-                            facilitate discussion on the list for everyone to benefit from. Be careful 
-                            of this as sometimes you may intend to reply to a message directly to someone 
-                            instead of the entire list.

-                            The appropriate contents of the Reply-To header is an age-old debate that
-                            should not be brought up on the mailing lists. You can examine opposing points of view
-                            condemning
-                            our convention and condoning 
-                            it. Bringing this topic up for debate again on a mailing list will add nothing new 
-                            and is considered off-topic.

-                            list only. Do not send your messages to multiple mailing lists. The reason is 
-                            that people may be subscribed to one list and not to the other. Therefore, 
-                            some people will only see part of the conversation.

+    The Apache log4net library is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets.
+    log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. In case of problems with an application, it is helpful to enable logging so that the problem can be located. With log4net it is possible to enable logging at runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4net package is designed so that log statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or rather not logging) is crucial. 
+
+At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net is the notion of hierarchical loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively control which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity. 
+
+log4net is designed with two distinct goals in mind: speed and flexibility

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The log4net release builds are strongly named using the log4net.snk key 
-file. This file is not distributed as part of the log4net source or 
-binary downloads. See the log4net documentation for more details.
-
-Before you can build your own release builds you will need to generate 
-a strong name key that identifies your assemblies.
-
-Generating your own strong name key.
-
-Run the SN utility from the .NET Framework SDK as follows:
-
-	sn -k log4net.snk
-
-A new strong name key pair will be created and written to the log4net.snk 
-file.
-
-
+file.  This key is different from the key used to sign log4net 1.2.10
+and earlier releases.
+
+Starting with log4net 1.2.11 we've decided to use a key that we don't
+keep secret so you can build a drop-in replacement for an official
+release yourself.  This means that the strong name of a log4net
+assembly no longer provides any means of checking its authenticity.
+The only way to ensure you are using an official release by the Apache
+Software Foundation is by downloading the distribution from the Apache
+log4net download page and verifying the PGP signature of the ZIP
+archive.
+
+The key used to sign those older releases is not and has never been
+distributed as part of the log4net source or binary downloads.
+
+In order to make it easier to migrate from log4net 1.2.10 to newer
+releases log4net 1.2.11 we also provide builds using the key used to
+sign 1.2.10.  We may stop distributing these alternative builds in the
+future.
+
+You should use the binary builds signed with log4net.snk for new
+projects and only use the ones signed with "the old key" if switching
+to the newer builds is not possible because other parts of your
+project depend on the old strong name.

+// The original ColoredConsoleAppender was written before the .NET framework
+// (and Mono) had built-in support for console colors so it was written using
+// Win32 API calls. The AnsiColorTerminalAppender, while it works, isn't
+// understood by the Windows command prompt.
+// This is a replacement for both that uses the new (.NET 2) Console colors
+// and works on both platforms.
+
+// On Mono/Linux (at least), setting the background color to 'Black' is
+// not the same as the default background color, as it is after
+// Console.Reset(). The difference becomes apparent while running in a
+// terminal application that supports background transparency; the
+// default color is treated as transparent while 'Black' isn't.
+// For this reason, we always reset the colors and only set those
+// explicitly specified in the configuration (Console.BackgroundColor
+// isn't set if ommited).

+                    Starting with log4net 1.2.11 there are two
+                    different binary distributions,
+                    oldkey and newkey.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    The oldkey distribution contains
+                    assemblies signed with the same strong name key
+                    that was used to sign the assemblies of log4net
+                    1.2.10 and earlier.  This strong name key is only
+                    available to log4net developers.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    The newkey distribution contains
+                    assemblies signed with the strong name key
+                    available from log4net's
+                    svn area or inside the source distribution.
+                    Everybody can create assemblies that have the same
+                    strong name.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    For open source projects it is important that you
+                    can create your own patched version of a product
+                    and use it instead of the official release.  This
+                    is something that is now possible if the
+                    newkey is used throughout.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    The oldkey distribution is mostly
+                    only for people who work with third-party
+                    dependencies that require one of the earlier
+                    releases of log4net and can't be recompiled to use
+                    the new strong name.  If you start a new project
+                    or can recompile all your dependencies we strongly
+                    recommend you use the newkey
+                    assemblies.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    If you are creating an assembly that is likely to
+                    be combined with other assemblies that depend on
+                    the old strong name, then it is better you use the
+                    oldkey assemblies as well.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    We currently plan to distribute the new-key
+                    assembly under a different name while providing
+                    old and newkey log4net.dll assemblies
+                    holding type forwards to the new assembly.  This
+                    may create a cleaner migration path for projects
+                    that have dependencies using both versions.
+                    At the moment such projects will either need to
+                    use the GAC or create sub-directories inside the
+                    application directory and configure assembly
+                    probing with a privatePath.
+                  
    
+
+                  
    
+                    Note that the "new" strong name no longer provides
+                    any kind of authenticity.  If you want to be sure
+                    you have the "real" Apache log4net, download the binary
+                    release from one of the mirrors and verify the PGP
+                    signature.

+                        writing to the file.  This model is known to
+                        break down with (at least on some versions of)
+                        Mono on Linux and log files may get corrupted
+                        as soon as another process tries to access the
+                        log file.

+
+                    
    
+                      MinimalLock only
+                      acquires the write lock while a log is being
+                      written. This allows multiple processes to

+                      InterProcessLock
+                      doesn't lock the file at all but synchronizes
+                      using a system wide Mutex.  This will only work
+                      if all processes cooperate (and use the same
+                      locking model).  The acquisition and release of a
+                      Mutex for every log entry to be written will
+                      result in a loss of performance, but the Mutex
+                      is preferable to the use of MinimalLock.
+                    
    
+                    
    
+                      If you use RollingFileAppender things
+                      become even worse as several process may try to
+                      start rolling the log file concurrently.  RollingFileAppender
+                      completely ignores the locking model when
+                      rolling files, rolling files is simply not
+                      compatible with this scenario.
+                    
    
+                    
    
+                        A better alternative is to have your processes
+                        log to RemotingAppenders.  Using
+                        the RemoteLoggingServerPlugin
+                        (or IRemoteLoggingSink) a

+                        LOG4NET-178.
+                        The issue seems to be caused by a broken LOG4NET configuration
+                        or a timing problem caused by an application shutdown event that
+                        floats in late after an application start event and thus LOG4NET
+                        stops logging immediately after it has been started.
+                    
    
+                    
    
+                        The first thing step to troubleshoot problems is enabling
+                        the log4net internal debugging features as described
+                        here
+                        and fix all errors that pop up. If the problem still persists,
+                        this comment
+                        suggests to move the LOG4NET configuration out of the
+                        web.config into a separate file
+                        like log4net.config. Finally,
+                        if both previous steps did not help and the problem still
+                        occurs, you can try to work around the event timing problem
+                        by invoking the configuration call from the class constructor as described in

+                      You may have overlooked initialization code for
+                      log4net in your application. log4net can be
+                      initialized explicitly by calling one of the
+                      configurators
+                      (e.g. BasicConfigurator or
+                      XmlConfigurator in the
+                      log4net.Config namespace, or
+                      implicitly by including the
+                      [XmlConfiguratorAttribute] in the
+                      assembly where log4net is first used.

+                      manual for more information.  If you use
+                      attributes to configure log4net then the order
+                      by which assemblies are loaded may determine
+                      whether you attributes are used or not.
+                      Assembly load order may be different in DEBUG
+                      and RELEASE mode.  See also log4net doesn't log when built

+              log4net 1.2.11 is not only a bugfix release, it also
+              adds support for Microsoft® .NET 4.0 as well as the client profiles
+              of .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0.

+              Starting with this release log4net uses a new strong

+              the "old" strong name key of log4net 1.2.10 and earlier.
+              See the FAQ for details.
+            
    
+
+            
    
+              The binary distributions no longer contain assemblies
+              built for the Compact Framework 1.0 or the Shared Source
+              CLI - you can build those yourself using the source
+              distribution.

      Added ILoggerRepository interface implemented by Hierarchy
      
                         
      
                             The Hierarchy class implements the ILoggerRepository interface. 
                             This interface is used by the LogManager class and therefore 
                             allows different implementations of ILoggerRepository to be used.

                             The LoggingEvent class is serializable. All local state is 
                             captured before serialization occurs. This now allows LoggingEvent 
                             objects to be serialized between applications or machines.

-Prerequisites for log4net tests
-===============================
-
-
-The nunit.framework.dll assembly version 2.2.7 is required to build 
-the log4net tests.
-
-NAnt 0.85 includes the 2.2.7 version of the nunit.framework.dll.
-
-The nunit.framework.dll is available as different builds for each 
-version of the .net runtime. To build multiple versions of the
-log4net tests you will need several different copies of the
-nunit.framework.dll.
-
-The log4net tests are currently built for the following runtimes:
-
-Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0
-Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
-Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
-Mono Framework 2.0
-
-Under the tests/lib directory you must create the following directory
-structure containing the nunit.framework.dll assembly built for the
-appropriate version of the runtime:
-
-lib\
-  net\
-    1.0\
-      nunit.framework.dll
-    1.1\
-      nunit.framework.dll
-    2.0\
-      nunit.framework.dll
-  mono\
-    2.0\
-      nunit.framework.dll
-    
+Prerequisites for log4net tests
+===============================
+
+The nunit.framework.dll assembly version 2.6.4 is required to build
+the log4net tests. The build process will download NUnit and place the
+framework dll inside the lib directory corresponding to the current
+framework.

-                    Before reporting a bug please make every effort to investigate and resolve the problem yourself. 
-                    Just reporting a bug will not fix it. A good bug report includes a detailed 
-                    description of the problem and a succinct test case which can reproduce the problem.

-                
    
-                    Before reporting a bug, you are advised to discuss it on the relevant mailing list first.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Search the bug database to see if the bug 
-                    you are seeing has already been reported. If it has been reported then you can vote for the issue.

-                    
    
-                        If after you have exhausted all other resources to resolve a problem you may want to file a bug report.
-                        Please make sure the problem is a bug in Logging and not a bug in your application.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Please make sure you provide as much information as possible. Its very hard to fix a bug if the person 
-                        looking into the problem can't reproduce it. Here is a listing of information which should be included:
-                    
    
-                    
      
-                        
    • Version - log4net version, or if from a nightly build, version and date of build.
      • 
-                        
    • Application Type - Assembly type, i.e. exe or dll, and how your code is launched, e.g. console application, windows application, ASP.NET project, COM+ hosted object, etc...
      • 
-                        
    • Framework - The .NET framework running the application, name (e.g. MS .NET, Mono, SSCLI) and version.
      • 
-                        
    • Platform - Computer operating system, version, and hardware platform in use.
      • 
-                        
    • Configuration - Attach configuration files if they would help track down the bug.
      • 
-                        
    • Log Files - Review your logs files, produced with internal log4net debug enabled. Submit any relevant sections of the log which help document the bug.
      • 
-                        
    • Stack Traces - Any stack traces generated by the bug, if any.
      • 
-                        
    • Example - Example configuration files or web applications which demonstrate the bug. When submitting an example which reproduces the bug, please try to make it as simple as possible.
      • 
-                        
    • Bug Fix Patch - A patch created using diff -u which fixes the bug. (If you have found a bug fix which can be applied to the code).
      • 
-                        
    • Description of the Bug - A description of the bug, include observed as well as expected behavior.
      • 
-                        
    • Miscellaneous - Any other information you feel will help track down the problem.
      •

-                    
    
-                        Just reporting a bug will not fix it. A good bug report includes a detailed description of the 
-                        problem and a succinct test case which can reproduce the problem. The very best sort of report
-                        includes an NUnit testcase which reproduces the issue, this means that we can fix it and that we can
-                        be sure that it stays fixed in future!
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Report a log4net issue here. You will need to login to JIRA before you can submit an issue.

-                
    
-                    Before starting to work on a patch it is probably a good idea to join the log4net-dev
-                    mailing list to check that equivalent or complementary work is not already underway.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Currently the only supported way of submitting patches to log4net
-                    is via the JIRA issue tracking system.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The preferred method of generating a patch is a unified context diff against
-                    the latest development version in SVN. To do this you should do the following:
-                
    
-                
      
-                    
    • 
-                        
      
-                            Get the latest version of the code from SVN, see the section above on 
-                            Anonymous SVN Access for details on how to obtain the SVN version. 
-                        
      
-                    
      • 
-                    
    • 
-                        
      
-                            Make your code changes to the log4net source. Please follow existing

-                The log4net project was started by Neoworks Limited 
-                in June 2001. It was created as an internal project within Neoworks to port the Apache 
-                log4j code base to the Microsoft .NET Framework. The code base was initially branched 
-                from a pre-alpha log4j 1.2.

-                In July 2001 a Sourceforge project was started

-                log4net was made in September 2001. A further 10 releases were made on the sourceforge

-                to become a member of the Logging Services project.

-                    log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety 
-                    of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the 
-                    .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar in spirit to the original log4j 
-                    while taking advantage of new features in the .NET runtime.
-                    For more information on log4net see the features document.

-                    log4net is part of the Apache Logging Services 
-                    project. The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language logging 
-                    services for purposes of application debugging and auditing.

-                The log4net release builds are built using NAnt. Log4net can also be built
-                using Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003, or 2005.
-            
    
-            
    
-                To build a release build of log4net you will need to create a strong
-                name key file. See the Strong Name section below. 
-            
    
-

-                    
    
-                        The log4net distribution includes a solution and project file
-                        for Visual Studio .NET 2002. Open the log4net.sln
-                        from the src directory in the distribution.
-

-                        Open the Visual Studio .NET 2002 solution file as above. 
-                        Visual Studio will convert the solution and project files

-                    
    
-                        After converting the log4net project you must change the
-                        Conditional Compilation Constants specified for the
-                        log4net project. Open the project properties dialog and
-                        select the Configuration Properties/Build sheet.
-                        Replace the NET_1_0 constant with NET_1_1.
-                        Remember to do this for both Debug and Release configurations.
-

-                        The log4net project file is not suitable for building log4net
-                        for the .NET Compact Framework. To build for the Compact Framework
-                        you must create a new C# project for Smart Devices. Configure the
-                        project as a library project. Add all the C# files from the 
-                        src directory in the distribution.

-                
    
-                    The log4net distribution is built using the NAnt tool.
-                    A recent NAnt version 0.85 nightly build is required to build log4net, this is 
-                    available from nant.sourceforge.net.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    To support building log4net for the SSCLI framework the NAnt configuration
-                    files need to be updated to specify the SSCLI framework directory.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    To build log4net from the command line, change directory to the root of the
-                    log4net distribution, ensure that the nant executable is in the
-                    PATH, and then run the following command:
-                
    
-                
    -nant -buildfile:log4net.build compile-all
    
-                
    
-                    This command will build log4net for all the supported frameworks
-                    that are available on the current machine. To list all the build
-                    targets that are available run the following command:
-                
    
-                
    -nant -buildfile:log4net.build -projecthelp
    
-                
    
-                    Under windows the build.cmd can be used 
-                    to script the nant build. This can be called from a different
-                    directory and will locate the correct log4net.build file to use.
-                    For example:
-                
    
-                
    -build.cmd compile-all
    
-            
    
-
-            
    
-                
    
-                    In order to build the Release builds of log4net a Strong
-                    Name key is required. 
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Use the sn.exe tool in the 
-                    .NET Framework SDK to generate a strong name key pair.
-                
    
-                
    -sn -k log4net.snk
    
-                
    
-                    The log4net.snk file should be placed in the root of the
-                    log4net distribution, in the same folder as the log4net.build
-                    file.
-                
    
-            
    
-
-            
    
-                
    
-                    NDoc 1.3 is used to build the log4net SDK documentation.
-                    NDoc is available from ndoc.sourceforge.net.

-                
    
-                    The log4net HTML documentation is built using Velocity.
-                    The source are XML files in the xdocs/src directory.
-                    Building the documentation requires Java, Ant, and Velocity.
-                    Run ant from within the xdocs directory.

-                    This document presents example configurations for the built-in appenders.
-                    These configurations are designed to work with the 
-                    log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator and the
-                    log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    These examples are by no means exhaustive configurations for the appenders.
-                    For a full list of the parameters that can be specified to each appender and
-                    more details on each options see the SDK documentation for the appender.

-                
    
-                
    
-                    The configuration of the AdoNetAppender depends on the
-                    provider selected for the target database. Here are some examples.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    
    
-                        The following example shows how to configure the AdoNetAppender 
-                        to log messages to a SQL Server database. The events are written in batches of 100
-                        (BufferSize). The ConnectionType specifies the fully qualified type name
-                        for the System.Data.IDbConnection to use to connect to the
-                        database. The ConnectionString is database provider specific.
-                        The CommandText is either a prepared statement or a stored procedure, in this
-                        case it is a prepared statement. Each parameter to the prepared statement or stored procedure
-                        is specified with its name, database type and a layout that renders the value for the
-                        parameter.
-

-                    In this example the ConsoleAppender is decorated with a Threshold of
-                    level WARN. This means that an event directed to the ConsoleAppender
-                    directly will be logged regardless of its level, but an event directed to the ForwardingAppender
-                    will only be passed on to the ConsoleAppender if its level is WARN
-                    or higher. This appender is used only in special circumstances.

-                    Messenger Service, one possible outcome using this configuration is that the Server
-                    will broadcast looking for a WINS server which it will then ask to deliver the message
-                    to the Recipient, the WINS server will deliver it to the first terminal that the

-                    In this example the events are delivered in blocks of 95 events because

-                    option allows the appender to ignore certain logging event properties that

-                    a size constraint (RollingStyle). Up to 10 (MaxSizeRollBackups)
-                    old files of 100 KB each (MaximumFileSize) will be kept. These rolled files will be

-                        this virtual directory as an application. Open up a web browser, navigate to
-                        the virtual directory and to the WebForm1.aspx page within it.

-                    
    
-                        log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of 
-                        output targets.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        In case of problems with an application, it is helpful to enable logging so 
-                        that the problem can be located. With log4net it is possible to enable logging at 
-                        runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4net package is designed 
-                        so that log statements can remain in production code without incurring a 
-                        high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or rather not 
-                        logging) is crucial.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes 
-                        overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net (and common to all of
-                        the log4x libraries) is the notion of hierarchical 
-                        loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively control 
-                        which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        log4net is designed with two distinct goals in mind: speed and flexibility. There 
-                        is a tight balance between these two requirements.
-

-                    
    
-                        No. log4net is not reliable. It is a best-effort and fail-stop logging system.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        By fail-stop, we mean that log4net will not throw unexpected exceptions at 
-                        run-time potentially causing your application to crash. If for any reason, log4net 
-                        throws an uncaught exception (except for ArgumentException and 
-                        ArgumentNullException which may be thrown), please send an email 
-                        to the 
-                        log4net-user@logging.apache.org mailing list. Uncaught exceptions 
-                        are handled as serious bugs requiring immediate attention.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Moreover, log4net will not revert to System.Console.Out
-                        or System.Console.Error when its designated 
-                        output stream is not opened, is not writable or becomes full. This avoids 
-                        corrupting an otherwise working program by flooding the user's terminal because 
-                        logging fails. However, log4net will output a single message to 
-                        System.Console.Error and System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        indicating that logging can not be performed.

-                        log4net runs on many different frameworks and each framework has its own requirements.
-                        As a rule of thumb you will need an ECMA-335 compliant CLI runtime, for example, 
-                        the Microsoft .NET runtime 1.0 (1.0.3705) or 1.1 (1.1.4322).
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Not all frameworks are created equal and some features have been excluded from 
-                        some of the builds. See the Framework Support 
-                        document for more information.

-                        two components of the name of the logger making the log request. The fifth field (just 
-                        before the '-') is the nested diagnostic context (NDC). Note the

-                        The logger concept lies at the heart of log4net's configuration. Loggers are organized into a 
-                        hierarchy and give the programmer run-time control on which logging statements 
-                        are printed or not.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Loggers are assigned levels through the configuration of log4net. A log statement is 
-                        routed through to the appender depending on its level and its logger.

-                        your proprietary log4net extensions. In particular, you may choose to 
-                        never release your extensions to the wider public. For details see the

-                        We are very careful not to unnecessarily change the log4net client API so that newer log4net 
-                        releases are backward compatible with previous versions. We are a lot less 
-                        scrupulous with the internal log4net API. Thus, if your extension is designed to 
-                        work with the internals of a specific log4net version, then when the next release
-                        of log4net comes out, you will probably need to adapt your proprietary extensions to the 
-                        new release. Thus, you will be forced to spend precious resources in order to 
-                        keep up with log4net changes. This is commonly referred to as the "stupid-tax". 
-                        By donating the code and making it part of the standard distribution, you save 
-                        yourself the unnecessary maintenance work.

-                    
    
-                        If your extensions are useful then someone will eventually write an extension 
-                        providing the same or very similar functionality. Your development effort will 
-                        be wasted.

-                    
    
-                        Unless the proprietary log4net extension is business critical, there is little 
-                        reason for not donating your extensions back to the project.

-                        log4net is a port of the popular log4j logging library.
-                        The initial port was done in June 2001, since then we have tried to remain in the
-                        spirit of the original log4j. See the log4net history page for more details.

-                        Logging behavior can be set using configuration files which are parsed at runtime. 
-                        Using configuration files the programmer can define loggers and set their 
-                        levels.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Configuration files are specified in XML. See log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator
-                        for more details.

-                        Setting the Threshold on the Hierarchy to Level OFF will disable all
-                        logging from that Hierarchy. This can be done in the log4net configuration file
-                        by setting the "threshold" attribute on the log4net configuration element to "OFF".
-                        For example:
-                    
    
-                    ]]>
-

-                    
    
-                        log4net uses public properties to configure components such as
-                        Appenders, Layouts, Loggers etc.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Thus, any writable public property in on the appender corresponds to a 
-                        configurable option. For example, in RollingFileAppender the 
-                        public int MaxSizeRollBackups { set; } property corresponds to 
-                        the MaxSizeRollBackups option.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Layouts options are also defined by their writable properties. Same goes for most 
-                        other log4net components.

-                        Yes it is. Setting the Threshold option of any appender extending 
-                        AppenderSkeleton, (most log4net appenders extend 
-                        AppenderSkeleton) will filter out all log events 
-                        with a lower level than the value of the threshold option.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        For example, setting the threshold of an appender to DEBUG will also allow INFO, 
-                        WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages to log along with DEBUG messages. (DEBUG is the 
-                        lowest level). This is usually acceptable as there is little use for DEBUG 
-                        messages without the surrounding INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages. 
-                        Similarly, setting the threshold of an appender to ERROR will filter out DEBUG, 
-                        INFO and WARN messages but not ERROR or FATAL messages.
-

-                    
    
-                        If you must filter events by exact level match, then you can attach a 
-                        LevelMatchFilter to any appender to filter out logging 
-                        events by exact level match.

-                        Yes. When specifying the type in the configuration file you can give the assembly
-                        qualified name of the type. For example:
-

-                    
    
-                        The .NET runtime will try to locate the assembly called MyAssembly.

-                        including the version, culture and public key must be specified. This is 
-                        in the standard syntax supported by System.Type.GetType.
-                        See the next FAQ on how to get the version and public key for an assembly.

-                        The fully qualified name for an assembly includes the version, culture and
-                        public key. The public key is derived from the strong name used to identify
-                        the publisher. When referencing an assembly from the GAC the fully qualified
-                        name must be used. To get the version, culture and public key you can use a
-                        tool like the excellent .NET Reflector from Lutz Roeder available from

-                        Newlines in the config file need to be escaped using an XML numeric character reference.
-                        The sequence that represents a CR LF is &#13; &#10;. The following example adds
-                        a header and footer to the output each followed by a newline.

-                        Log4net supports a pattern syntax for setting string properties similar to the 
-                        PatternLayout used to format the output messages.
-                        This pattern syntax can be used by specifying type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
-                        on the string property in the config file. This tells the config parser to pass the
-                        value to the PatternString type before converting the result
-                        to a string. For details on the patterns supported see the

-                        fully-qualified name of the class, is a useful and straightforward approach of 
-                        defining loggers. This approach has many benefits:

-                            Printing the logger automatically gives information on the locality of the

-                        However, this is not the only way for naming loggers. A common alternative 
-                        is to name loggers by functional areas. For example, the 
-                        "database" logger, "remoting" logger, "security" logger, or the "XML" 
-                        logger.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        You may choose to name loggers by functionality and subcategorize by 
-                        locality, as in "DATABASE.MyApp.MyClass" or 
-                        "DATABASE.MyApp.MyModule.MyOtherClass".
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        You are totally free in choosing the names of your loggers. The 
-                        log4net package merely allows you to manage your names in a hierarchy. However, 
-                        it is your responsibility to define this hierarchy.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Note: by naming loggers by locality one tends to name things by 
-                        functionality, since in most cases the locality relates closely to 
-                        functionality.

-                        You can easily retrieve the fully-qualified name of a class in a static block 
-                        for class X, with the statement typeof(X).Name. 
-                        Note that X is the class name and span an instance.
-                        However because the LogManager.GetLogger method is overloaded
-                        to take an instance of Type as well as string
-                        usually only the type of the class is required.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Here is the suggested usage template:
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        An equivalent and more portable solution, though slightly longer, is to use the declaring type 
-                        of the static constructor.

-                        For some logger log, writing,
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        incurs the cost of constructing the message parameter, that is converting both 
-                        integer i and entry[i] to 
-                        a string, and concatenating intermediate strings. This, regardless of whether 
-                        the message will be logged or not.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        If you are worried about speed, then write
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        This way you will not incur the cost of parameter construction if debugging is 
-                        disabled for logger log. On the other hand, if the logger is 
-                        debug enabled, you will incur the cost of evaluating whether the logger is 
-                        enabled or not, twice: once in IsDebugEnabled and once in Debug. 
-                        This is an insignificant overhead since evaluating a logger takes less than 
-                        1% of the time it takes to actually log a statement.

-                        So you don't think that the previous FAQ is really the fastest way
-                        of not logging? Well there is a faster way but it does have some
-                        drawbacks. Starting from: 
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        It is possible to further eliminate the calls to IsDebugEnabled
-                        so that the call is only made once per logger. If you are using one logger 
-                        for each class then you can store the enabled state for the logger in a static
-                        variable in the class and then test against this variable:
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        So why exactly is this faster? Well to start with the IsDebugEnabled
-                        is not called for each log statement, it is called once per logger. Furthermore as the
-                        isDebugEnabled variable is private static readonly
-                        the JIT compiler can at run-time optimize out the if test altogether. 
-                        This means that at runtime the JIT compiler won't even compile the logging statements into native code, i.e.
-                        all the logging just disappears.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        So what is the downside to using this? Well one of the clever features of log4net is that
-                        you can change the logging configuration while your program is running. If you need to 
-                        investigate an issue in your application, you don't have to stop the application, setup the
-                        logging and restart the application, you can change the logging configuration and the
-                        log4net will reload it (see XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch APIs for more 
-                        information). However if the JIT has compiled out all of the logging statements
-                        then they are gone and you can't get them back by reloading the configuration file. Effectively
-                        this means that the logging configuration can only be set when the application loads and
-                        it cannot be changed at runtime. It is up to you to decide if you need ultimate speed or need
-                        to be able to reload the logging configuration while the application is running.

-                        Many developers are confronted with the problem of distinguishing the log 
-                        output originating from the same class but different client requests. They come 
-                        up with ingenious mechanisms to fan out the log output to different files. In 
-                        most cases, this is not the right approach.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        It is simpler to use a context property or stack (ThreadContext). 
-                        Typically, one would ThreadContext.Properties["ID"] = "XXX"
-                        client specific information, such as the client's hostname, ID or any other 
-                        distinguishing information when starting to handle the client's request. 
-                        Thereafter, log output will automatically include the context data
-                        so that you can distinguish logs from different client requests even if they 
-                        are output to the same file.

-                        It is quite nontrivial to define the semantics of a "removed" logger which is 
-                        still referenced by the user.

-                        By default the FileAppender holds an exclusive write 
-                        lock on the log file while it is logging. This prevents other processes from 
-                        writing to the file. The FileAppender can be configured
-                        to use a different locking model, MinimalLock, that
-                        only acquires the write lock while a log is being written. This allows multiple
-                        processes to interleave writes to the same file, albeit with a loss in performance.
-                        See the FileAppender config examples
-                        for an example MinimalLock configuration.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        While the MinimalLock model may be used to interleave
-                        writes to a single file it may not be the optimal solution, especially when
-                        logging from multiple machines. Alternatively you may have one or more processes
-                        log to RemotingAppenders. 
-                        Using the RemoteLoggingServerPlugin (or 
-                        IRemoteLoggingSink) a process can receive all the events and 
-                        log them to a single log file.

-                        The timestamp is created when the logging event is created. That is so say, 
-                        when the Debug, Info, 
-                        Warn, Error
-                        or Fatal method is invoked. This is unaffected by the time at 
-                        which they may arrive at a remote server. Since the timestamps are 
-                        transmitted in UTC format by the RemotingAppender, 
-                        they all appear in the same time zone as 
-                        the host creating the logfile. Since the clocks of various machines may not be 
-                        synchronized, this may account for time interval inconsistencies between events 
-                        generated on different hosts.

-                        If you are configuring log4net programmatically, i.e. by calling the 
-                        XmlConfigurator.Configure method then you should do so
-                        before you begin logging and it is reasonable to do this very soon after application
-                        start.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        If you are configuring log4net by specifying assembly level attributes on 
-                        your assembly then the configuration will be loaded once the first call to
-                        the LogManager.GetLogger is made. It is necessary
-                        that the first call to LogManager.GetLogger made
-                        during the process (or AppDomain) is made from the assembly that has the
-                        configuration attributes. Log4net will look only once and only on the first 
-                        calling assembly for the configuration attributes.

-                        To configure log4net to use your custom appender you need to specify the
-                        assembly qualified name of the appender type in the config file. For
-                        example:

-                        The .NET runtime will try to locate the assembly called MyAssembly.

-                        There are 2 different ways to enable internal debugging in log4net.
-                        These are listed below. The preferred method is to specify
-                        the log4net.Internal.Debug option in the application's
-                        config file.

-                                Internal debugging can also be enabled by setting a value in the application's
-                                configuration file (not the log4net configuration file, unless the log4net config
-                                data is embedded in the application's config file). The log4net.Internal.Debug
-                                application setting must be set to the value true.
-                                For example:
-                            
      
-                            
      -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-<configuration>
-    <appSettings>
-        <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
-    </appSettings>
-</configuration>
      
-                            
      
-                                This setting is read immediately on startup an will cause all internal
-                                debugging messages to be emitted.
-

-                                To enable log4net's internal debug programmatically you need
-                                to set the log4net.Util.LogLog.InternalDebugging
-                                property to true. Obviously the sooner this
-                                is set the more debug will be produced.
-

-                    
    
-                        Internal debugging messages are written to the console and to the 
-                        System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        system. If the application does not have a console the messages logged
-                        there will be lost. Note that an application can redirect the console
-                        stream by setting the System.Console.Out. The
-                        Trace system will by default send the message to an attached debugger
-                        (where the messages will appear in the output window). If the process
-                        does not have a debugger attached then the messages are sent to the 
-                        system debugger. A utility like DebugView from 
-                        http://www.sysinternals.com
-                        may be used to capture these messages.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        As log4net internal debug messages are written to the System.Diagnostics.Trace
-                        system it is possible to redirect those messages to a local file. You can define
-                        a trace listener by adding the following to your application's .config file:
-                    
    
-                    
    -<configuration>
-    ...
-    
-    <system.diagnostics>
-        <trace autoflush="true">
-            <listeners>
-                <add 
-                    name="textWriterTraceListener" 
-                    type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" 
-                    initializeData="C:\tmp\log4net.txt" />
-            </listeners>
-        </trace>
-    </system.diagnostics>
-
-    ...
-</configuration>
    
-                    
    
-                        Make sure that the process running your application has permission 
-                        to write to this file.

-                        If you are not getting events delivered to the event log this usually indicates 
-                        a permissions problem. Basically if the event log does not exist the EventLogAppender 
-                        tries to create it, but you need local administrator permissions to create event logs 
-                        (just to write into the right bit of the registry). You don't need administrator 
-                        permissions to log to an existing event log, but it must exist. If you are using the 
-                        event log from a web application or service using the event log can be a little tricky. 
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        A web application will run as the user account ASPNET. This account deliberately has 
-                        few permissions to reduce the chances of someone hacking into the web server. While the 
-                        account has permission to write to the event log it does not have permission to create 
-                        event sources (registry create and write access), which are needed to write to the event log.
-

-                                Make the ASPNET user a member of the Administrators group. This will work because the 
-                                user will then have the required permissions. This is not recommended
-                                for production use.

-                                As the event source only needs to be created once for the machine, create an installer
-                                and configure it to create the event source. 
-                                The installer will need to be run as Administrator (don't they all). See 
-                                System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller in the Microsoft .NET 
-                                Framework SDK for an example of how to create a simple event log installer.

-                        that this path will not be the location of your assemblies.
-                        The best way to get the path to your assemblies is to use

-                        Note that the log4net internals never use the current directory.

-                    log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a 
-                    variety of output targets. In case of problems with an application, 
-                    it is helpful to enable logging so that the problem can be located. 
-                    With log4net it is possible to enable logging at runtime without 
-                    modifying the application binary. The log4net package is designed so 
-                    that log statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a 
-                    high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or 
-                    rather not logging) is crucial.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes 
-                    overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net is the notion of 
-                    hierarchical loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively 
-                    control which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity.

-                    Hierarchical logging is an ideal fit with component based development. 
-                    Each component has its own of logger. When individually tested, the 
-                    properties of these loggers may be set as the developer requires. 
-                    When combined with other components, the loggers inherit the properties 
-                    determined by the integrator of the components. One can selectively elevate 
-                    logging priorities on one component without affecting the other components. 
-                    This is useful when you need a detailed trace from just a single component 
-                    without crowding the trace file with messages from other components. All 
-                    this can be done through configuration files; no code changes are required.

-                
    
-                    log4net is configured using an XML configuration file. The configuration 
-                    information can be embedded within other XML configuration files
-                    (such as the application's .config file) or in a separate file. The
-                    configuration is easily readable and updateable while retaining the
-                    flexibility to express all configurations.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Alternatively log4net can be configured programmatically.

-                
    
-                    log4net can monitor its configuration file for changes and dynamically
-                    apply changes made by the configurator. The logging levels, appenders, 
-                    layouts, and just about everything else can be adjusted at runtime. 
-                    In many cases it is possible to diagnose application issues without 
-                    terminating the process in question. This can a very valuable tool in
-                    investigating issues with deployed applications.

-                
    
-                    log4net can be used to collect logging context data in a way that is transparent 
-                    to the developer at the point of logging. The GlobalContext and the 
-                    ThreadContext allow the application to store contextual data that is
-                    attached to logging messages. For instance, in a web service, 
-                    once the caller is authenticated the username of the caller could be 
-                    stored in a ThreadContext property. This property would then be automatically 
-                    logged as part of each subsequent logging message made from the same thread.

-                
    
-                    log4net is based on the highly successful log4j logging library,
-                    in development since 1996. This popular and proven architecture has 
-                    so far been ported to 12 languages.

-        Apache log4net: Supported Frameworks
-    
-
-    
-
-    
-        
    
-        
-            
-            
-            
    
-                
    
-                    log4net is built on a number of different frameworks. Each new version of the frameworks add
-                    new features. To take advantage of these new features we must build log4net using the
-                    appropriate framework. We also maintain builds compatible with older versions of the frameworks.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    It is important to remember that the .NET frameworks support backward compatibility, that is
-                    a new version of the framework will run binary assemblies that were targeted to previous versions
-                    of the framework.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    While the number of different builds available may seem confusing, you only need to select the
-                    nearest build for your platform that is equal to or earlier than your chosen deployment framework.
-                    If you intend to deploy your application on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 don't pick the
-                    log4net build that is built against the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 because the .NET framework
-                    does not guarantee forward compatibility only backward compatibility.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The lowest common denominator build is the CLI 1.0 Compatible build. This build is compatible with
-                    the ECMA/ISO CLI 1.0 standard APIs and will run on all frameworks that support the standard. (Note
-                    that the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework does not support this standard). Use this build if you
-                    intend to deploy you application on both the Microsoft .NET Frameworks and the Mono frameworks.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    log4net now builds on 6 frameworks:
-                
    
-                
-

-                    For each of these frameworks a log4net assembly targeting the framework is supplied.  Although it's 
-                    perfectly possible to use the .NET Framework 1.0 version of log4net on the .NET Framework 1.1, having 
-                    an assembly that really targets a specific framework allows us to use features in that framework that 
-                    are not available in other frameworks or remove features from log4net that are not supported in a 
-                    specific framework.

-                    The appenders available to each framework depend on the functionality of the

-                                The .NET Compact Framework 1.0 does not support retrieving assembly level 
-                                attributes, therefore all log4net configuration attributes were removed from

-                                For Smart-device applications, the log4net system can be configured by passing 
-                                the location of the log4net configuration file to the
-                                log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(FileInfo)

-                        the common subset of functionality found in the .NET 1.0 and Mono 1.0 builds.
-                        The output assembly is built using the Microsoft .NET 1.0 compiler and library.

-

-                    
    
-                        Only a Release build is generated for this configuration because the assembly

-        Apache log4net: How To view logging events using Apache log4j Chainsaw
-

-            
-            
    
-                Apache log4j includes Chainsaw
-                a graphical log viewer. 
-            
    
-            
    
-                Chainsaw can either receive and display log events in realtime over 
-                the network, or it can load a previously created log file.
-            
    
-            
-            
    
-                Before Chainsaw can display data, one or more receivers must be setup. 
-                This is usually done by specifying an xml config file when the program 
-                first starts up. 
    
-                Save one or more of the sample xml config files to your local system and 
-                load them when Chainsaw starts.
-            
    
-            
-            
    
-                
    
-                    log4net can be configured to log messages via UDP in such a way that Chainsaw
-                    can receive and display them.
-                
    
-            
-                
    
-                    
    
-                        Configure log4net to use a UdpAppender with the following config snippet:

-                    
    
-                        Chainsaw should be configured to start a UDPReceiver using the 
-                        following configuration document:

-                    Chainsaw can also load an XML log file if it is formatted according
-                    to the log4j schema. Use the following log4net config to output

-                
    
-                    Inserting log requests into the application code requires a fair amount of 
-                    planning and effort. Observation shows that approximately 4 percent of code is 
-                    dedicated to logging. Consequently, even moderately sized applications will 
-                    have thousands of logging statements embedded within their code. Given their 
-                    number, it becomes imperative to manage these log statements without the need 
-                    to modify them manually.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The log4net environment is fully configurable programmatically. However, it is 
-                    far more flexible to configure log4net using configuration files. Currently, 
-                    configuration files are written in XML.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Let us give a taste of how this is done with the help of an imaginary 
-                    application
-                    MyApp
-                    that uses log4net.
-                
    
-                
    -using Com.Foo;
-
-// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-using log4net.Config;
-
-public class MyApp 
-{
-    // Define a static logger variable so that it references the
-    // Logger instance named "MyApp".
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyApp));
-
-    static void Main(string[] args) 
-    {
-        // Set up a simple configuration that logs on the console.
-        BasicConfigurator.Configure();
-
-        log.Info("Entering application.");
-        Bar bar = new Bar();
-        bar.DoIt();
-        log.Info("Exiting application.");
-    }
-}
    
-                
    
-                    MyApp
-                    begins by importing log4net related classes. It then defines a static logger 
-                    variable with the name
-                    MyApp
-                    which happens to be the fully qualified name of the class.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    MyApp
-                    uses the following
-                    Bar
-                    class:
-                
    
-                
    -// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-
-namespace Com.Foo
-{
-    public class Bar 
-    {
-        private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Bar));
-
-        public void DoIt()
-        {
-            log.Debug("Did it again!");
-        }
-    }
-}
    
-                
    
-                    The invocation of the
-                    BasicConfigurator.Configure()
-                    method creates a rather simple log4net setup. This method is hardwired to add 
-                    to the root logger a
-                    ConsoleAppender. The output will be formatted using a
-                    PatternLayout
-                    set to the pattern
-                    "%-4timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message%newline".
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Note that by default, the root logger is assigned to
-                    Level.DEBUG.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The output of MyApp is:
-                
    
-                
-                
    
-                    As a side note, let me mention that in log4net child loggers link only to their 
-                    existing ancestors. In particular, the logger named
-                    Com.Foo.Bar
-                    is linked directly to the
-                    root
-                    logger, thereby circumventing the unused
-                    Com
-                    or
-                    Com.Foo
-                    loggers. This significantly increases performance and reduces log4net's memory 
-                    footprint.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The
-                    MyApp
-                    class configures log4net by invoking
-                    BasicConfigurator.Configure()
-                    method. Other classes only need to import the
-                    log4net
-                    namespace, retrieve the loggers they wish to use, and log away.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The previous example always outputs the same log information. Fortunately, it 
-                    is easy to modify
-                    MyApp
-                    so that the log output can be controlled at run-time. Here is a slightly 
-                    modified version.
-                
    
-                
    -using Com.Foo;
-
-// Import log4net classes.
-using log4net;
-using log4net.Config;
-
-public class MyApp 
-{
-    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyApp));
-
-    static void Main(string[] args) 
-    {
-        // BasicConfigurator replaced with XmlConfigurator.
-        XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(args[0]));
-
-        log.Info("Entering application.");
-        Bar bar = new Bar();
-        bar.DoIt();
-        log.Info("Exiting application.");
-    }
-}
    
-                
    
-                    This version of
-                    MyApp
-                    instructs the 
-                    XmlConfigurator
-                    to parse a configuration file and set up logging accordingly. The path to the 
-                    configuration file is specified on the command line.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Here is a sample configuration file that results in exactly same output as the

-                    does not have an assigned level, it inherits its level from

-                    output to an NT Event logger, or forwarded logging events to a remote log4net 
-                    server, which would log according to local server policy.

-                        Using attributes can be a clearer method for defining where the application's
-                        configuration will be loaded from. However it is worth noting that attributes
-                        are purely passive. They are information only. Therefore if you use configuration
-                        attributes you must invoke log4net to allow it to read the attributes. A simple
-                        call to LogManager.GetLogger will cause the attributes
-                        on the calling assembly to be read and processed. Therefore it is imperative
-                        to make a logging call as early as possible during the application start-up, and
-                        certainly before any external assemblies have been loaded and invoked.

-                        Typically the log4net configuration is specified using a file. This file can
-                        be read in one of two ways:
-                    
    
-                    
      
-                        
    • Using the .NET System.Configuration API
      • 
-                        
    • Reading the file contents directly
      •

-                    
-                    
    
-                        
        
-                            The System.Configuration API is only available if the
-                            configuration data is in the application's config file; the file named 
-                            MyApp.exe.config or Web.config. Because the System.Configuration 
-                            API does not support reloading of the config file the configuration settings 
-                            cannot be watched using the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch 
-                            methods. The main advantage of using the System.Configuration
-                            APIs to read the configuration data is that it requires less permissions than accessing
-                            the configuration file directly.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            The only way to configure an application using the System.Configuration
-                            APIs is to call the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() method or
-                            the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(ILoggerRepository) method.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            In order to embed the configuration data in the .config file the section name must be
-                            identified to the .NET config file parser using a configSections element.
-                            The section must specify the log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler
-                            that will be used to parse the config section. This type must be fully assembly qualified
-                            because it is being loaded by the .NET config file parser not by log4net. The correct
-                            assembly name for the log4net assembly must be specified.
-                            The following is a simple example configuration file that specifies the correct
-                            section handler to use for the log4net section.

-                            In the above example the log4net assembly is specified.
-                            This assembly must be located where the .NET runtime can find it. For example it could
-                            be located in the same directory as the application. If the log4net assembly is stored in
-                            the GAC then the fully qualified assembly name must be specified including the culture,
-                            version and public key.

-                            The XmlConfigurator can directly read any XML file and use it to configure log4net. 
-                            This includes the application's .config file; the file named MyApp.exe.config 
-                            or Web.config. The only reason not to read the configuration file directly is if the
-                            application does not have sufficient permissions to read the file, then the configuration
-                            must be loaded using the .NET configuration APIs (see above).

-                        
    
-                            The file to read the configuration from can be specified using any of
-                            the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator methods that
-                            accept a System.IO.FileInfo object. Because the
-                            file system can be monitored for file change notifications the 
-                            ConfigureAndWatch methods can be used to monitor
-                            the configuration file for modifications and automatically reconfigure log4net.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            Additionally the log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute
-                            can be used to specify the file to read the configuration from.
-                        
    
-                        
    
-                            The configuration is read from the log4net element
-                            in the file. Only one log4net element can be specified
-                            in the file but it may be located anywhere in the XML hierarchy. For example it
-                            may be the root element:

-                            registered using the configSections element.
-                            Therefore in the above example the log4net
-                            section name is registered, but the type specified to handle the
-                            section is System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler.
-                            This is a built-in class that indicates that another method for reading
-                            the config section will be employed.

-                        log4net includes a configuration reader that parses an XML DOM, the 
-                        log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator. This section defines the
-                        syntax accepted by the configurator.

-                        This is an example of a valid XML configuration. The root element
-                        must be <log4net>. Note that this does not mean
-                        that this element cannot be embedded in another XML document. See the section above 
-                        on Configuration Files for more information

-                                If the text is found the filter will accept the message and filter processing will stop, 
-                                the message will be logged. If the substring is not found the event will be passed to 
-                                the next filter to process. If there is no next filter the event would be implicitly 
-                                accepted and would be logged. But because we don't want the non matching events to be 
-                                logged we need to use a log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter
-                                that will just deny all events that reach it. This filter is only useful at the end of the filter chain.

-                Most real-world systems have to deal with multiple clients simultaneously. In a 
-                typical multithreaded implementation of such a system, different threads will 
-                handle different clients. Logging is especially well suited to trace and debug 
-                complex distributed applications. An approach to differentiate the 
-                logging output of one client from another is to instantiate a new separate 
-                logger for each client. However this promotes the proliferation of loggers and 
-                increases the management overhead of logging.
-            
    
-            
    
-                A lighter technique is to uniquely stamp each log request initiated from the 
-                same client interaction.
-            
    
-            
    
-                Log4net supports different types of contextual logging and contexts with different scopes.

-                
    
-                    Contextual data can be set in different scopes. These contexts have progressively narrower visibility.
-                    In the logging event itself the values from all of the contexts are combined together such that

    ScopeTypeDescription
    Globallog4net.GlobalContext
-                                The global context is shared by all threads in the current AppDomain.
-                                This context is thread safe for use by multiple threads concurrently.
-                            
    Threadlog4net.ThreadContext
-                                The thread context is visible only to the current managed thread.
-                            
    Logical Threadlog4net.ThreadLogicalContext
-                                The logical thread context is visible to a logical thread. Logical
-                                threads can jump from one managed thread to another. For more details
-                                see the .NET API System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.
-                            
    Eventlog4net.Core.LoggingEvent
-                                Each event captures the current contextual state at the time the event
-                                is generated. Contextual data can be set on the event itself. This context
-                                is only visible to the code generating the event itself.
-

-                
    
-                    The log4net contexts store properties, i.e. name value pairs. The name is a string
-                    the value is any object. A property can be set as follows:
-                
    
-                
-                
    
-                    If properties with the same name are set in more than one context scope then
-                    the value in the narrowest scope (lower down in the list above) will hide the
-                    other values.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The property values are stored as objects within the LoggingEvent. 
-                    The PatternLayout supports rendering the value of a named
-                    property using the %property{name} syntax. The value is 
-                    converted to a string by passing it to the log4net.ObjectRenderer.RendererMap
-                    which will locate any custom renderer for the value type. The default behavior for
-                    custom types is to call the object's ToString() method.
-                
    
-                
-                
    
-                    
    
-                        An active property value is one who's value changes over time.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        For example, imagine a custom type that implemented the 
-                        ToString() method to return the
-                        number of bytes allocated by the runtime garbage collector. 
-                    
    
-                
-                    
    
-                        An instance of this type can be added to the log4net.GlobalContext 
-                        during application startup: 
-                    
    
-                
-                    
    
-                        Once this property is set in the context all subsequent logging events will have a property
-                        called GCAllocatedBytes. The value of the property will be an instance of the
-                        GCAllocatedBytesHelper type. When this value is rendered to a 
-                        string by calling the ToString method the current number of bytes 
-                        allocated by the garbage collector will be returned and included in the output.
-                    
    
-					
    
-						Note that the ToStringmethod will not be
-						called until the LoggingEventis rendered, as
-						explained in the Fixingsection. An active property
-						is not eligible to be fixed unless it implements 
-						 IFixingRequired.

-					Some properties, e.g. the current thread property, or any 
-					active properties, are not realised
-					until their containing LoggingEventis rendered. If the 
-					LoggingEventis been sent to a buffering appender (such as 
-					AdoNetAppender) then this rendering will not happen
-					unless the 
-					BufferingAppenderSkeleton's 
-					Fix propertyhas been set. In addition, an active property is not eligible to be fixed unless it implements 
-					IFixingRequired.

-                
    
-                    Sometimes simple key value pairs are not the most convenient way of capturing contextual
-                    information. A stack of information is a very convenient way of storing data especially
-                    as our applications tend to be stack based.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The ThreadContext and LogicalThreadContext
-                    also support storing contextual data in a stack. The stack is stored in context property,
-                    therefore stacks have names and more than one stack can exist in the same context. A property
-                    value set in a narrower context would override a stack with the same property name set in a
-                    wider scoped context.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The stack supports Push and Pop methods.
-                    As more contextual data is pushed onto the stack the stack grows. When the stack is rendered
-                    all the data pushed onto the stack is output with the most recent data to the right hand
-                    end of the string.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    As the stack is just an object stored in the context properties it is also rendered
-                    using the same PatternLayout syntax: %property{name}.
-                    Where name is the name of the stack.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Calls the the stack's Push and Pop
-                    methods must be matched up so that each push has a corresponding pop. The 
-                    Push method also returns an IDisposable
-                    object that will perform the required pop operation when it is disposed. This allows
-                    the C# using syntax to be used to automate the stack management.
-                
    
-                
-                
    
-                    The INFO level log has a stack stored in its NDC property. The top item in the
-                    stack is the string context.
-                    The using syntax ensures that the value context is popped off the stack
-                    at the end of the block.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The using
-                    syntax is recommended because it removes some work load from the developer and 
-                    reduces errors in matching up the Push and Pop calls, especially when exceptions
-                    can occur.
-

-                
    
-                    The NDC (Nested Diagnostic Context) exists for compatibility
-                    with older versions of log4net. This helper class implements a stack which is stored
-                    in the thread context property named NDC.
-

-                
    
-                    The MDC (MappedDiagnostic Context) exists for compatibility
-                    with older versions of log4net. This helper class implements a properties map which is 
-                    mapped directly through to the thread context properties.
-                
    
-            
    
-                
-            
    
-                To illustrate this point, let us take the example of a web service delivering 
-                content to numerous clients. The web service can build the NDC at the very 
-                beginning of the request before executing other code. The contextual 
-                information can be the client's host name and other information inherent to the 
-                request, typically information contained in cookies. Hence, even if the web 
-                service is serving multiple clients simultaneously, the logs initiated by the 
-                same code, i.e. belonging to the same logger, can still be distinguished 
-                because each client request will have a different NDC stack. Contrast this with 
-                the complexity of passing a freshly instantiated logger to all code exercised 
-                during the client's request.
-            
    
-            
    
-                Nevertheless, some sophisticated applications, such as virtual hosting web 
-                servers, must log differently depending on the virtual host context and also 
-                depending on the software component issuing the request. Log4net supports 
-                multiple logger repositories. This would allow each virtual host to possess its own copy 
-                of the logger hierarchy. Configuring multiple logger hierarchies is beyond the 
-                scope of this document.

-                    One of the often-cited arguments against logging is its computational cost. 
-                    This is a legitimate concern as even moderately sized applications can generate 
-                    thousands of log requests. Much effort was spent measuring and tweaking logging 
-                    performance. Log4net claims to be fast and flexible: speed first, flexibility 
-                    second.

-                    The user should be aware of the following performance issues.
-                
    
-                
      
-                    
    1. 
-                        Logging performance when logging is turned off.
-                        
      
-                            When logging is turned off entirely or just for a set of levels, the cost of a 
-                            log request consists of a method invocation plus an integer comparison.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            However, The method invocation involves the "hidden" cost of parameter 
-                            construction.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            For example, for some logger
-                            log, writing,
-                        
      
-                        
      -log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i].ToString());
      
-                        
      
-                            incurs the cost of constructing the message parameter, i.e. converting both 
-                            integer
-                            i
-                            and
-                            entry[i]
-                            to strings, and concatenating intermediate strings, regardless of whether the 
-                            message will be logged or not. This cost of parameter construction can be quite 
-                            high and it depends on the number and type of the parameters involved.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            To avoid the parameter construction cost write:
-                        
      
-                        
      -if(log.IsDebugEnabled)
-{
-    log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i].ToString());
-}
      
-                        
      
-                            This will not incur the cost of parameter construction if debugging is 
-                            disabled. On the other hand, if the logger is debug-enabled, it will incur 
-                            twice the cost of evaluating whether the logger is enabled or not: once in
-                            IsDebugEnabled
-                            and once in
-                            Debug. This is an insignificant overhead because 
-                            evaluating a logger takes about 1% of the time it takes to actually log.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            Certain users resort to pre-processing or compile-time techniques to compile 
-                            out all log statements. This leads to perfect performance efficiency with 
-                            respect to logging. However, since the resulting application binary does not 
-                            contain any log statements, logging cannot be turned on for that binary. In 
-                            many people's opinion this is a disproportionate price to pay in exchange for a 
-                            small performance gain.

    2. 
-                        The performance of deciding whether to log or not to log when logging is 
-                            turned on.

-                            This is essentially the performance of walking the logger hierarchy. When 
-                            logging is turned on, log4net still needs to compare the level of the log 
-                            request with the level of the request logger. However, loggers may not have an 
-                            assigned level; they can inherit them from the logger hierarchy. Thus, before 
-                            inheriting a level, the logger may need to search its ancestors.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            There has been a serious effort to make this hierarchy walk to be as fast as 
-                            possible. For example, child loggers link only to their existing ancestors. In 
-                            the
-                            BasicConfigurator
-                            example shown earlier, the logger named
-                            Com.Foo.Bar
-                            is linked directly to the root logger, thereby circumventing the nonexistent
-                            Com
-                            or
-                            Com.Foo
-                            loggers. This significantly improves the speed of the walk, especially in 
-                            "sparse" hierarchies.
-                        
      
-                        
      
-                            The typical cost of walking the hierarchy is typically 3 times slower than when 
-                            logging is turned off entirely.
-

-                        Actually outputting log messages
-                        
      
-                            This is the cost of formatting the log output and sending it to its target 
-                            destination. Here again, a serious effort was made to make layouts (formatters) 
-                            perform as quickly as possible. The same is true for appenders.

-                
    
-                    Although log4net has many features, its first design goal was speed. Some 
-                    log4net components have been rewritten many times to improve performance. 
-                    Nevertheless, contributors frequently come up with new optimizations. You 
-                    should be pleased to know that when configured with the
-                    SimpleLayout
-                    performance tests have shown log4net to log within an order of magnitude of
-                    System.Console.WriteLine.

-                
    
-                    The following is the series of steps and checks that a messages goes through while being logged.
-                    For the purposes of this example we will document an INFO level
-                    message being logged on logger ConsoleApp.LoggingExample. This logger is configured
-                    to use the log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender. The repository used
-                    in this example is a log4net.Repository.Hierarchy object.
-                
    
-                
      
-                    
    1. 
-                        
      
-                            The user logs a message using the ILog.Info method on the logger
-                            obtained using a call to log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ConsoleApp.LoggingExample").
-                            For example: log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ConsoleApp.LoggingExample").Info("Application Start");
-                            The ILog interface is actually an extension to log4net that provides level 
-                            specific logging methods (i.e. Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal).
-

-                        
      
-                            The message is then logged through to the ILogger.Log method on the 
-                            appropriate log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger object. The 
-                            ILogger.Log method takes the Level to
-                            log at as a parameter and therefore works for all levels.
-

-                            The repository threshold level is compared to the message level to determine if the message 
-                            can be logged. If the message level is below the threshold level the message is not logged.
-                            In this case the repository is a log4net.Repository.Hierarchy object.

-                            The Logger level is compared to the message level to determine if the

-                            parent Logger if not specified explicitly for this Logger.
-                            If the message level is below the Logger level the message is not logged.

-                            The list of appenders for the Logger is built. This includes appenders

-                    For Each Appender that the LoggingEvent is delivered to the following

-                            The appender threshold level is compared to the message level to determine if the message 
-                            can be logged. If the message level is below the threshold level the message is not logged.
-

-                            If the appender has a filter chain the LoggingEvent is passed down the 
-                            filter chain which can decide if the message can be logged or not.
-

-                            Next an appender specific check is performed. Usually this check will verify that all the 
-                            required properties are set for the appender (e.g. a Layout is set if required).

-                            The ConsoleAppender uses a Layout to 
-                            format the message as a string for display.

-                            The Layout uses the LoggingEvent.RenderedMessage
-                            property to get the string for the message object. This uses the registered 
-                            IObjectRenderer for the type of the message object.

-                    This document is based on Short introduction to log4j by Ceki Gülcü.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    The log4net framework is based on log4j, see 
-                        http://logging.apache.org/log4j for more information on log4j.

-                    This document is an introduction to the log4net API, its unique features and 
-                    design rationale. Log4net is an open source project based on the work of many 
-                    authors. It allows the developer to control which log statements are output 
-                    with arbitrary granularity. It is fully configurable at runtime using external 
-                    configuration files.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Almost every large application includes its own logging or tracing API. 
-                    Inserting log statements into code is a low-tech method for debugging it. It 
-                    may also be the only way because debuggers are not always available or 
-                    applicable. This is usually the case for multithreaded applications and 
-                    distributed applications at large.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Once an application has been deployed it may not be possible to utilize 
-                    development and debugging tools. An administrator can use effective logging 
-                    systems to diagnose and fix many configuration issues.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Experience indicates that logging is an important component of the development 
-                    cycle. It offers several advantages. It provides precise context about the 
-                    execution of the application. Once inserted into the code, the generation of 
-                    logging output requires no human intervention. Moreover, log output can be 
-                    saved in persistent medium to be studied at a later time. In addition to its 
-                    use in the development cycle, a sufficiently rich logging package can also be 
-                    viewed as an auditing tool.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Logging does have its drawbacks. It can slow down an application. If too 
-                    verbose, it can cause scrolling blindness. To alleviate these concerns, log4net 
-                    is designed to be reliable, fast and extensible. Since logging is rarely the 
-                    main focus of an application, the log4net API strives to be simple to 
-                    understand and to use.

-                    Log4net has three main components: loggers, appenders and layouts. 
-                    These three types of components work together to enable developers to log 
-                    messages according to message type and level, and to control at runtime how 
-                    these messages are formatted and where they are reported. These components are
-                    helped by filters that control the actions of the appender and
-                    object renderers that turn objects into strings.

-                        The first and foremost advantage of any logging API over plain
-                        System.Console.WriteLine
-                        resides in its ability to disable certain log statements while allowing others 
-                        to print unhindered. This capability assumes that the logging space, that is, 
-                        the space of all possible logging statements, is categorized according to some 
-                        developer-chosen criteria.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Loggers are named entities. Logger names are case-sensitive and they follow the 
-                        following hierarchical naming rule:
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        
    Named Hierarchy
    
-                        
    
-                            
    
-                                A logger is said to be an ancestor of another logger if its name 
-                                followed by a dot is a prefix of the descendant logger name. A logger is 
-                                said to be a parent of a child logger if there are no ancestors 
-                                between itself and the descendant logger.
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                The hierarchy works very much in the same way as the namespace and class 
-                                hierarchy in .NET. This is very convenient as we shall soon see.
-                            
    
-                        
    
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        For example, the logger named
-                        "Foo.Bar"
-                        is a parent of the logger named
-                        "Foo.Bar.Baz". Similarly,
-                        "System"
-                        is a parent of
-                        "System.Text"
-                        and an ancestor of
-                        "System.Text.StringBuilder". This naming scheme 
-                        should be familiar to most developers.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        The root logger resides at the top of the logger hierarchy. It is exceptional 
-                        in three ways:
-                    
    
-                    
      
-                        
    1. 
-                            It always exists
      2. 
-                        
    2. 
-                            It cannot be retrieved by name
      3. 
-                        
    3. 
-                            It always has an assigned level
      4. 
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Loggers are retrieved using the static method from the
-                        log4net.LogManager
-                        class. The
-                        GetLogger
-                        methods take the name of the desired logger as a parameter. They are listed 
-                        below:
-

-                        The
-                        GetLogger
-                        methods that takes a
-                        Type
-                        parameter uses the fully qualified type name as the name of the logger to 
-                        retrieve.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        These
-                        GetLogger
-                        methods return an
-                        ILog
-                        interface. That is the representation of the Logger passed back to the 
-                        developer. The
-                        ILog
-                        interface is defined below:

-                    
    
-                        Loggers may be assigned levels. Levels are instances of the
-                        log4net.Core.Level
-                        class. The following levels are defined in order of increasing priority:

-                        If a given logger is not assigned a level, then it inherits one from its 
-                        closest ancestor with an assigned level. More formally:
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        
    Level Inheritance
    
-                        
    
-                            
    
-                                The inherited level for a given logger X, is equal to the first 
-                                non-null level in the logger hierarchy, starting at X and proceeding 
-                                upwards in the hierarchy towards the root logger.
-

-                    
    
-                        To ensure that all loggers can eventually inherit a level, the root logger 
-                        always has an assigned level. The default value for the root logger is
-                        DEBUG.

-                    
    
-                        Logging requests are made by invoking one of the printing methods of a logger 
-                        instance (through the log4net.ILog). These printing methods are
-                        Debug,
-                        Info,
-                        Warn,
-                        Error, and
-                        Fatal.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        By definition, the printing method determines the level of a logging request. 
-                        For example, if
-                        log
-                        is a logger instance, then the statement
-                        log.Info("..")
-                        is a logging request of level INFO.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        A logging request is said to be enabled if its level is higher than or 
-                        equal to the level of its logger. Otherwise, the request is said to be disabled. 
-                        A logger without an assigned level will inherit one from the hierarchy. This 
-                        rule is summarized below.

    Basic Selection Rule
    
-                        
    
-                            
    
-                                A log request of level L in a logger with (either assigned or inherited, 
-                                whichever is appropriate) level K, is enabled if L >= K.
-                            
    
-                        
    
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        This rule is at the heart of log4net. It assumes that levels are ordered. For 
-                        the standard levels, we have
-                        DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Calling the
-                        log4net.LogManager.GetLogger
-                        method with the same name will always return a reference to the exact same 
-                        logger object.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        For example, in:
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        x
-                        and
-                        y
-                        refer to exactly the same logger object.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Thus, it is possible to configure a logger and then to retrieve the same 
-                        instance somewhere else in the code without passing around references. In 
-                        fundamental contradiction to biological parenthood, where parents always 
-                        precede their children, log4net loggers can be created and configured in any 
-                        order. In particular, a "parent" logger will find and link to its descendants 
-                        even if it is instantiated after them.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Configuration of the log4net environment is typically done at application 
-                        initialization. The preferred way is by reading a configuration file. This 
-                        approach will be discussed shortly.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Log4net makes it easy to name loggers by software component. This can be 
-                        accomplished by statically instantiating a logger in each class, with the 
-                        logger name equal to the fully qualified name of the class. This is a useful 
-                        and straightforward method of defining loggers. As the log output bears the 
-                        name of the generating logger, this naming strategy makes it easy to identify 
-                        the origin of a log message. However, this is only one possible, albeit common, 
-                        strategy for naming loggers. Log4net does not restrict the possible set of 
-                        loggers. The developer is free to name the loggers as desired.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Nevertheless, naming loggers after the class where they are located seems to be 
-                        the best strategy known so far. It is simple an obvious to the developers where 
-                        each log message came from. Most importantly it leverages the design of the 
-                        application to produce the design of the logger hierarchy. Hopefully some 
-                        thought has gone into the design of the application.

-                    
    
-                        The ability to selectively enable or disable logging requests based on their 
-                        logger is only part of the picture. Log4net allows logging requests to print to 
-                        multiple destinations. In log4net speak, an output destination is called an appender.
-                        Appenders must implement the log4net.Appenders.IAppender
-                        interface.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        The following appenders are defined in the log4net package:

-                        
-                            Each enabled logging request for a given logger will be forwarded to all 
-                            the appenders in that logger as well as the appenders higher in the hierarchy.
-                        
-                        In other words, appenders are inherited additively from the logger hierarchy. 
-                        For example, if a console appender is added to the root logger, then all 
-                        enabled logging requests will at least print on the console. If in addition a 
-                        file appender is added to a logger, say X, then enabled logging requests 
-                        for X and X's children will print on a file and on the 
-                        console. It is possible to override this default behavior so that appender 
-                        accumulation is no longer additive by setting the additivity flag on the logger 
-                        to
-                        false.

-                                The output of a log statement of logger X will go to all the appenders 
-                                in X and its ancestors. This is the meaning of the term "appender 
-                                additivity".
-                            
    
-                            
    
-                                However, if an ancestor of logger X, say Y, has the additivity 
-                                flag set to
-                                false, then X's output will be directed to all 
-                                the appenders in X and it's ancestors up to and including Y but 
-                                not the appenders in any of the ancestors of Y.

-                                Loggers have their additivity flag set to
-                                true
-                                by default.

-                        Appenders can filter the events that are delivered to them. The filters can be 
-                        specified in the configuration to allow fine control of the events that are 
-                        logged through different appenders.

-                    
    
-                        The simplest form of control is to specify a
-                        Threshold
-                        on the appender. This works by logging only the events that have a level that 
-                        is greater than or equal to the threshold.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        More complex and custom event filtering can be done using the filter chain 
-                        defined on each appender. Filters must implement the
-                        log4net.Filter.IFilter interface.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        The following filters are defined in the log4net package:

    log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter
-                                    Drops all logging events.
-                                
    log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter
-                                    An exact match to the event's level.
-                                
    log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter
-                                    Matches against a range of levels.
-                                
    log4net.Filter.LoggerMatchFilter
-                                    Matches against a the start of the logger name.
-                                
    log4net.Filter.PropertyFilter
-                                    Matches a substring from a specific property value.
-                                
    log4net.Filter.StringMatchFilter
-                                    Matches a substring from the event's message.

-                    
    
-                        The filters can be configured to either accept or reject the event based upon 
-                        the match.

-                        More often than not, users wish to customize not only the output destination 
-                        but also the output format. This is accomplished by associating a layout 
-                        with an appender. The layout is responsible for formatting the logging request 
-                        according to the user's wishes, whereas an appender takes care of sending the 
-                        formatted output to its destination. The
-                        PatternLayout, part of the standard log4net 
-                        distribution, lets the user specify the output format according to conversion 
-                        patterns similar to the C language
-                        printf
-                        function.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        For example, the PatternLayout with the conversion pattern
-                        "%timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline"
-                        will output something akin to:
-                    
    
-                    
-                    
    
-                        The first field is the number of milliseconds elapsed since the start of the 
-                        program. The second field is the thread making the log request. The third field 
-                        is the level of the log statement. The fourth field is the name of the logger 
-                        associated with the log request. The text after the '-' is the message of the 
-                        statement.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        The following layouts are included in the log4net package:
-

    log4net.Layout.ExceptionLayout
-                                    Renders the exception text from the logging 
-                                    event.
-                                
    log4net.Layout.PatternLayout
-                                    Formats the logging event according to a flexible 
-                                    set of formatting flags.
-                                
    log4net.Layout.RawTimeStampLayout
-                                    Extracts the timestamp from the logging event.
-                                
    log4net.Layout.RawUtcTimeStampLayout
-                                    Extracts the timestamp from the logging event in Universal Time.
-                                
    log4net.Layout.SimpleLayout
-                                    Formats the logging event very simply:
-                                    [level] - [message]
-                                
    log4net.Layout.XmlLayout
-                                    Formats the logging event as an XML element.
-                                
    log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j
-                                    Formats the logging event as an XML element that
-                                    complies with the log4j event dtd.
-

-                    
    
-                        Just as importantly, log4net will render the content of the log message 
-                        according to user specified criteria. For example, if you frequently need to 
-                        log
-                        Oranges, an object type used in your current project, 
-                        then you can register an
-                        OrangeRenderer
-                        that will be invoked whenever an orange needs to be logged.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Object rendering follows the class hierarchy. For example, assuming oranges are 
-                        fruits, if you register an
-                        FruitRenderer, all fruits including oranges will be 
-                        rendered by the
-                        FruitRenderer, unless of course you registered an 
-                        orange specific
-                        OrangeRenderer.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        Object renderers have to implement the
-                        log4net.ObjectRenderer.IObjectRenderer
-                        interface.
-

-                            Creates a remoting logging sink. A single
-                            parameter must be passed to the constructor that specifies the sink URI. This is a
-                            name used to identify the logging sink object published via remoting and must be
-                            agreed with the client before communication can take place.

-                
    
-                    Logging repositories are considered advanced functionality. The default behavior
-                    should be sufficient for most users.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Log4net supports logging repositories. A repository is uniquely named. 
-                    Each repository is a (ILoggerRepository).
-                    Multiple assemblies can link to the same repository.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    By default there is a single logging repository per process (more precisely per AppDomain). This extends
-                    across all assemblies loaded into the process and allows them to all share a
-                    single configuration. The configuration of the repository only needs to be done once,
-                    typically in the entry point to the application, either programmatically or using 
-                    a configuration attribute.
-                
    
-                
    
-                    Named logging repositories can be created using the LogManager.CreateRepository
-                    method. The repository for can be retrieved using the 
-                    LogManager.GetRepository method.
-                    A repository created in this way will need to be configured programmatically.
-                
    
-
-                
    
-                    
    
-                        An assembly may choose to utilize a named logging repository rather than the default repository.
-                        This completely separates the logging for the assembly from the rest of the application.
-                        This can be very useful to component developers that wish to use log4net for their
-                        components but do not want to require that all the applications that use their
-                        component are aware of log4net. It also means that their debugging configuration is
-                        separated from the applications configuration. The assembly should specify the
-                        RepositoryAttribute to set its logging repository.
-                    
    
-                    
    
-                        The log4net logging repositories can be configured using the following assembly-level 
-                        attributes:
-                    
    
-                    
      
-

-                                Specifies a named repository to use as this assembly's repository.

-                                An assembly's logger repository is defined by its
-                                RepositoryAttribute, however this can be overridden by an 
-                                assembly loaded before the target assembly.

-                                An assembly can alias another assembly's repository by specifying 
-                                this attribute with the name of the target repository.
-

-                                for this assembly. The RepositoryType
-                                property specifies the type of the repository object to create for the assembly.

      C style string escapes no longer supported by config parser

      New CLI build
      
-                            
      
-                                A new log4net assembly is built that targets all CLI 1.0 compatible runtimes.
-                                This build is essentially a common subset of the Mono 1.0 and .NET 1.0 builds.
-                                It is built using the MS .NET 1.0 compiler and libraries but does not use any
-                                platform specific APIs.

      Logging contexts

-                                Logging contexts can be used to record contextual data that is relevant to the current
-                                process. Logging contexts are both an extension of the concepts embodied in the
-                                MDC and NDC and a replacement for
-                                them. The MDC and NDC have been
-                                reimplemented to use the ThreadContext as storage.
-                            
      
-                            
      
-                                The logging contexts provide a single unified view that cuts across different
-                                scopes within an application.
-                                The contexts are layered in the following order of narrowing scope: 
-                                GlobalContext, ThreadContext, 
-                                LogicalThreadContext, and LoggingEvent.
-                                Context values specified in a narrower scope hide the matching value in a wider scope.

      PatternLayout customization and long pattern names
      
-                            
      
-                                The PatternLayout now supports long pattern names.
-                                These pattern names are significantly more readable than the single character patterns.
-                            
      
-                            
      
-                                The PatternLayout now supports custom patterns. New patterns
-                                can be defined in the config file:
-                            
      
-                            
      -<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
-
-  <converter>
-    <name value="myConverter" />
-    <type value="TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp" />
-  </converter>
-
-  <conversionPattern value="%-5level %logger - %myConverter - %message%newline" />
-</layout>
      
-                            
      
-                                The above config defines a custom pattern called myConverter
-                                which is bound to the TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp
-                                type. This type must extend the log4net.Util.PatternConverter
-                                base class. The custom pattern can then be used in the pattern string.
-

-                                URI.

      Config file parser enhancements

-                                The config file parser has been enhanced to support specifying the property subtype, or intermediate type, 
-                                directly on the property element, for example:
-                            
      
-

-                                Implicit conversion will be attempted between the value string and the type specified, 
-                                and then again between the type and the target property type.

      Pluggable file locking models for the FileAppender
      
-                            
      
-                                The FileAppender (and by extension the 
-                                RollingFileAppender) now support pluggable file
-                                locking models. The default model, ExclusiveLock, 
-                                maintains the current exclusive file locking behavior. An alternative
-                                model, MinimalLock, can be used to support writing to
-                                a single output file from multiple processes.

-                            The builds for each framework can now be differentiated
-                            by the assembly title. This includes the name of the framework

-                            ILoggerRepository.Configured property
-                            to true once you have configured

-                            are now by default placed into the default domain. To specify another domain, 
-                            the DomainAttribute must be used. This is the opposite behavior 
-                            to what was previously available. If you were previously specifying the DomainAttribute.UseDefaultDomain
-                            property then you should remove it, and if the default behavior is now 
-                            sufficient, you do not need to specify the DomainAttribute at all.

-                            takes a RendererMap argument. This allows the renderer to use the 
-                            appropriate renderer from the RendererMap to render any nested 
-                            objects.

      Added support for rendering exceptions
      
-                        
      
-                            The DefaultRenderer now has support for rendering exceptions to a 
-                            string. This includes nested exceptions. The RendererMap is now 
-                            used to render exceptions in the LoggingEvent. This allows the 
-                            rendering of specific exceptions to be enhanced by specific renderers.

      Added ITriggeringEventEvaluator interface
      
-                        
      
-                            This interface is used by SMTPAppender and RemotingAppender
-                            to determine if a LoggingEvent meets a set of user defined 
-                            criteria. These appenders use the interface to determine whether or not to 
-                            deliver the current buffer of events to their listener. The interface is 
-                            implemented by the LevelEvaluator class, which triggers above a 
-                            set level.

-                            has been updated to allow the <logger> and <level>
-                            elements to be used in place of the <category> and <priority>
-                            elements. The old elements are still accepted for backward compatibility.

      Added support for logging domains
      
-                        
      
-                            The LogManager supports multiple logging domains. The LogManager
-                            uses an instance of the IRepositorySelector class to map from 
-                            domains to ILoggerRepository instances. The default implementation 
-                            is to have a separate ILoggerRepository for each domain. When a 
-                            call is made to the static methods on LogManager the domain can be 
-                            specified (as a string) or the domain can be inferred automatically from the 
-                            calling assembly. The default behavior is for each assembly loaded into the 
-                            process to have its own domain and ILoggerRepository. These can 
-                            each be configured separately. This allows standalone assemblies to use log4net 
-                            without conflicting with other modules in the process. The domain for the 
-                            assembly is configured using metadata attributes defined on the assembly.

-                            creatable object.

-                            Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved
-                            in it. You are welcome to join any of our mailing lists.  You can
-                            choose to lurk, or actively participate; it's up to you.  The level of
-                            community responsiveness to specific questions is generally directly
-                            proportional to the amount of effort you spend formulating your
-                            question. Eric Raymond and Rick Moen have even written an essay entitled 
-                            "Asking Smart Questions"
-                            precisely on this topic.

-                            Keep your email short and to the point
      
-                            If your email is more than about a page of text, chances are that it
-                            won't get read by very many people. It is much better to try to pack a
-                            lot of informative information (see above about asking smart questions)
-                            into as small of an email as possible. If you are replying to a previous
-                            email, it is a good idea to only quote the parts that you are replying
-                            to and to remove the unnecessary bits. This makes it easier for people
-                            to follow a thread as well as making the email archives easier to search
-                            and read.

-                            Do your best to ensure that you are not sending HTML or "Stylelized" email to the list
      
-                            If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express or Eudora, chances are that
-                            you are sending HTML email by default. There is usually a setting that
-                            will allow you to send "Plain Text" email. If you are using Microsoft
-                            products to send email, there are several bugs in the software that
-                            prevent you from turning off the sending of HTML email. Please read this
-                            page as well.

-                            Our mailing lists have set the Reply-To to go back to the 
-                            list. That means that when you Reply to a message, it will go to the list
-                            and not to the original author directly. The reason is because it helps
-                            facilitate discussion on the list for everyone to benefit from. Be careful 
-                            of this as sometimes you may intend to reply to a message directly to someone 
-                            instead of the entire list.

-                            The appropriate contents of the Reply-To header is an age-old debate that
-                            should not be brought up on the mailing lists. You can examine opposing points of view
-                            condemning
-                            our convention and condoning 
-                            it. Bringing this topic up for debate again on a mailing list will add nothing new 
-                            and is considered off-topic.

-                            In other words, pick a mailing list and send your messages to that mailing 
-                            list only. Do not send your messages to multiple mailing lists. The reason is 
-                            that people may be subscribed to one list and not to the other. Therefore, 
-                            some people will only see part of the conversation.
