FAQ for getting the fully-qualified name of a class
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LOG4NET-157
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-157
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Chris Jerdonek
            Priority: Minor


The FAQ here--

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

states that the following are equivalent ways to obtain a logger:

(1) private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Foo));

(2) private static readonly ILog log = 
LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

However, these constructs seem to behave differently when the classes involved 
are generic.  When generic classes are involved, I believe the former generates 
a different logger for each type parameter combination, while the latter 
generates a different logger if and only if the number of type parameters is 
different.

For example,

TestClass<T, S> can yield "TestClass`2[[System.Int32..." in the former case and 
"TestClass`2" in the latter.
