NDC and MDC fields logged as (null)

I am using the 1.2.10. The NDC and MDC fields are logged in file as (null) 
if they are no value. Are they supposed to just log empty string if there 
are no values?

Thanks.

problems with windows service

Hello,

I have created a windows service, installed it to use the (at first) the 
local system admin account, then the local system account.  I have 
verified that I have the necessary permissions (by simply creating a 
file & writing to it), but log4net is showing Is...Enabled = false on 
all levels.

my config looks like this:

<configuration>
   <configSections>
       <section
             name="log4net"
             type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler" />
   </configSections>
   <appSettings>
      <!-- other settings ->
   </appSettings>
   <log4net>
       <appender
             name="RollingLogFileAppender"
             type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
           <file
value="${windir}/System32/LogFiles/CompanyName/ServiceName/ServiceName.log" 
/>
           <appendToFile value="true" />
           <rollingStyle value="Date" />
           <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd" />
           <staticLogFileName value="true" />

I think you are missing this in the AssemblyInfo.VB
<Assembly: log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator(ConfigFile:="log4net.config.xml", Watch:=True)>

           <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
       </root>
   </log4net>
</configuration>

I have the assembly level attribute to look for the config info in 
AssemblyInfo.cs

using log4net.Config;

[assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)]

If I run the executable as a normal executable, all logging happens as 
it should, but when it runs as a service nothing happens (debugging 
shows that's because the Is...Enabled is false).

anything I've left out that would enable my service to log?

thanks,
Steve

Re: problems with windows service

DOMConfiguratorAttribute has been depreciated for 
XmlConfiguratorAttribute, but by specifying my config file (Thanks!) 
things are working now.

My "AssemblyName" and "default namespace" are different, which is why 
I'm guessing the config wasnt getting loaded.

Thanks!

how to set property for application level

How can I set a property in application level so that all logs produced from 
that application will have this property in log file, including all logs 
produced from other assemblies used by this application?

For example I want to all my log has an property "appname" to stored the 
value of application name. I tried to set an application name:
ThreadContext.Properties["appname"] = "App1";
This doesn't work as what I wanted. Some of the log entries don't have this 
property.

How should I approach it?

Thanks.

Have you tried the GlobalContext?

OutputDebugStringAppender w/ VS2005

I am writing a windows EXE application and trying to use the
OutputDebugStringAppender to get a dump in the output window of VS2005
with no luck.  Here is the app.config:

-------------------------
  <log4net>

    <!-- Define some output appenders -->
    <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="TOCEngine.Rolling.txt" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      <maximumFileSize value="1MB" />
      <rollingStyle value="Once" />
      <staticLogFileName value="true" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <header value="[Header]&#13;&#10;" />
        <footer value="[Footer]&#13;&#10;" />
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger
[%ndc] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>

      </layout>
    </appender>

      <level value="DEBUG" />
      <appender-ref ref="DebugConsoleOutput" />

RE: OutputDebugStringAppender w/ VS2005

This is a little bit of goofiness that is documented somewhere.  You'll find
that the 
log4net.Appender.TraceAppender
Will do what you want.  This is what I use....

     <!-- to show in Debug output use trace instead -->
    <appender name="Debugger" type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.SimpleLayout" />
    </appender>

Re: how to set property for application level

Thanks so much. Exactly what I want.

One more question: I have a windows form application and I want some of the 
log entries automatically appear in some area of form(for example right 
bottom of the form). what is the best way to do it?

Thanks.
