Stefan Bodewig commented on LOG4NET-398:
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure I've got much to add, in particular I unfortunately haven't got an
environment to debug the problem.
But I have got a theory. I think the exception is raised once control is
returning from the child process to the parent process. AFAIU when the child
application is executed it is on the same thread as the parent. The child then
sets a CallContext property and when it is done the logical thread context
tries to preserve the properties set on the call context when the thread
returns to the parent application - and there it cannot get deserialized
becuase the log4net classes are unknown.
This is a change we've introduced with 1.2.12 by fixing LOG4NET-317 where we
made sure the properties really travel with the CallContext - and it now may
travel into directions where you don't want them to go.
You may want to add call to {{Clear}} as the last step in Child to see whether
Parent still fails (it doesn't even start on my Linux box).
Implementing MarshalByRefObject removes the need of deserializing the
properties (and this of having the class available in Parent).
This may mean that code that is run inside a separate AppDomain via some kind
of hosting environment should clean up the LogicalThreadContext before
returning. I haven't got any clear idea how to enforce that code-wise.

> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Task

> Environment: Visual Studio 2010
> Reporter: Thomas Meum
> Priority: Minor

> 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. Create a new ASP.NET Empty Web Application
> 2. Add a reference to log4net.dll
> 3. Add a new Web Form
> 4. Add the following code to Page_Load:
> log4net.LogicalThreadContext.Properties["Test"] = 1;
> Uri url = Request.Url;
> 5. Hit F5
