Can I ask you where you found that? I was looking REALLY hard for that.
It's upsetting when I can't find things... Now where did I put my config
file?

This is what you want:

My example of using a custom PatternConverter is overkill. You don't
need to do that. Same thing for my idea about having a %now pattern;
PatternString's %date pattern already does that.
I learn something new every time I read the docs :-)

The %d pattern applies to the timestamp of the log message. You're
essentially wanting to print out what time log4net was configured.
Its
my understanding that the header is written before any messages come
through the pipeline and the footer is written during the shutdown
process. I could be wrong.
As soon as I configure log4net, I record this log message:
log.Info("Application Started.");
In my application's shutdown code I record this log message:
log.Info("Application Ended.");
So I can easily see when my application has recycled.

hmmm... I could have sworn I got something like this working in a
logger I
wrote for a different company... The solution would have had to be
really
simple because I didn't know JS about L4N (not that my knowledge of
L4N has
changed really...) and just used the default config info from one
of
the
examples - not including this one modification.
Anyway, thanks once again Ron!

You could write your own pattern converter to expose the a DateTime
object:
<header type="log4net.Util.PatternString">
<converter>
<name value="dateTimeNow" />
<type value="Company.Project.Logging.DateTimePatternConverter,
Company.Project" />
</converter>
<conversionPattern value="[BEGIN LOGGING AT
%dateTimeNow{hh:mm}]%n"
/>
</header>
I agree that that's a lot of code for just wanting to print out the
current date and time :-/
Perhaps a built-in pattern called %now could be added that accepts
a
DateTime format:
%now{d}
%now{hh:mm:ss}

I'm trying ot insert the date and time in the header footer

my
log. I did a search on the mailing list but didn't find anything.
I have tried %d, %date and \d without any success.
<param name="Header" value="[BEGIN LOGGING AT \d]\r\n" />
<param name="Footer" value="[END LOGGING AT \d]\r\n" />
Suggestions?
Thanks!
