Lars Nellemann Nielsen commented on LOG4NET-398: ------------------------------------------------ We have run into the same problem and can replicate the issue on sites running in IIS and a console application acting as a host for multiple other console applications, separated in appDomains. So both rely on separate appDomains. The issue goes away when not setting log4net.LogicalThreadContext.Properties LogicalThreadContext is implemented using System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContex, and stores the data in log4net.Util.PropertiesDictionary which inherits log4net.Util.ReadOnlyPropertiesDictionary making [log4net.Util.ReadOnlyPropertiesDictionary|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4net/trunk/src/log4net/Util/ReadOnlyPropertiesDictionary.cs?view=markup] inherit [MarshalByRefObject|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.marshalbyrefobject%28v=vs.110%29.aspx] fixes the issue. Its obvious that the properties dictionary cannot cross into the other appdomain, since inheriting MarshalByRefObject fixes it. I cannot see why installing log4net into the GAC fixes the problem as well, perhaps someone can shed some light on this? Can anyone confirm the fix? > SerializationException after setting a LogicalThreadContext property > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-398 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-398 > Project: Log4net > Issue Type: Task > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.2.12 > Environment: Visual Studio 2010 > Reporter: Thomas Meum > Priority: Minor > Labels: triaged > > I have found that accessing Page.Request.Url after setting a > LogicalThreadContext property causes a SerializationException with the > following message: Type is not resolved for member > 'log4net.Util.PropertiesDictionary,log4net, Version=1.2.12.0, > Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a'. > I have been able to reproduce the problem on two different machines with the > following steps: > 1.
