Re: Rolling File Logs contain junk for non-English OSes

[Ron Grabowski]

Have you verified that you're able to capture the system messages and
write them to a file yourself?

 using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter("test.txt"))
 {
  streamWriter.WriteLine("Hello World");
  streamWriter.WriteLine(getSystemMessages());
 }

Have you tried the other encoding items in the System.Text.Encoding
enumeration?

I don't know how much this will help...are you able to configure your
application to redirect System.Diagnostics.Trace messages to a file? If
you add a system.diagnostics node to your App.Config:

 http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#internalDebug

and verify that messages appears correctly there (using the
TraceAppender) then the problem is definitely with a setting on the
FileAppender.
