Gian Marco Gherardi edited comment on LOG4NET-394 at 10/4/13 6:45 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Every exception raised during log processing is silenced. This code, for example, does not throw exceprtion: {code} class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { BasicConfigurator.Configure(); LogManager.GetLogger("Logger").FatalFormat("{0}", new Message()); } } class Message { public override string ToString() { throw new ApplicationException(); } } {code} IMO catching application raised by the lambda is a more coherent behavior, consistent with the rest of the library. was (Author: gimmi): Every exception raised during log processing is silenced.
