OutputDebugString appender should use managed ODS not native
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-124
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-124
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 1.2.10
Environment: .NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Vista
Reporter: Scott Bilas
Priority: Minor
The built-in OutputDebugString appender uses a native call via pinvoke to call
the system's OutputDebugString(). Unfortunately the VS2005 debugger only pays
attention to that output when you have unmanaged debugging enabled. When
working on a pure .NET project it's convenient to leave that flag off (it's off
by default as well, I think) because the debugger runs faster.
Suggestion: instead of using native OutputDebugString, use
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write( RenderLoggingEvent( inLoggingEvent ) ). That
way it shows up in VS2005 whether or not unmanaged debugging is enabled.
