Hello Husain, I think the observed behavior lies in the implementation of Parallel.ForEach. All your assumptions seem correct to me except that Parallel.ForEach does not execute its actions on a separate thread or separate task each.
If you look at mscorlib with ILSpy and find System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach you'll see that it does some heavy optimization to find the right ratio of threads/tasks and load. IMHO it may be reusing a task where your "x-correlation-id" was set (if (i==3)) for other values of i, this is why you are seeing multiple modified log outputs. cheers, alex On Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 10:04 AM, Dominik Psenner (JIRA) <j...@apache.org> wrote: > > [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-562?page= > com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment- > tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15960445#comment-15960445 ] > > Dominik Psenner commented on LOG4NET-562: > ----------------------------------------- > > Have you tried to include the actual thread that the code executes in by > logging System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId?
