Dynamically add Souce and Category to EventLog

2005-10-11 Thread Mohit Mehra 
Hello There,
I am using the most recent version of Log4Net. I need to be able to add source and category information on a per message basis. I am able to successfully add this in the SQL server as I can utilize MDC properties. 

Example: 
MDC.Set(category, category);
Can I do something similar to EventLogAppender?

Thanks in advance.

Mohit

Ron,Thanks for your prompt replay. Although I have seen a lot of posts regarding EventId, I still don't see anything related to setting the Source dynamically. Can you please post me some code or redirect to a URL? 


Regards,
Mohit

The idea is to use the same Logger for multiple applications (Windows Services, Web Services etc). For example System event log has sources like DCOM, SCM, IIS etc. I would giveextending EventLogAppendera try though.


Thanks.

don't think that's a correct usage for the event source. If you need todo that, I would extend EventLogAppender and override its Appendmethod. I would check for an ApplicationName as a property of theloggingEvent or use the default value set in the config file if there
isn't one:// untested...string applicationName =loggingEvent.LookupProperty(ApplicationName) as string;if (applicationName == null || applicationName.Length == 0){// use the default value
applicationName = ApplicationName;}// snipEventLog.WriteEntry(applicationName, eventTxt, entryType, eventID);--- Mohit Mehra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
