Nicko,
Thanks for your response. When I use the LogFileAppender it logs the
property values when remoting is used. However when a buffering appender
is used e.g. adonetappender, the property does not get stored. There are
no internal errors thrown as well. While debugging I found that the MDC
gets cleared in the BufferingSkeleton.cs at the following code when I
use remoting.
=========================================
if (m_bufferSize <= 1)
{
// Only send the event if we are in non lossy mode or the event is a
triggering event
if ((!m_lossy) || (m_evaluator != null &&
m_evaluator.IsTriggeringEvent(loggingEvent)) || (m_lossyEvaluator !=
null && m_lossyEvaluator.IsTriggeringEvent(loggingEvent)))
{
if (m_eventMustBeFixed)
{
// Derive class expects fixed events
loggingEvent.Fix = this.Fix; //// ***THIS IS WHERE THE
MDC VALUE IS CLEARED IN REMOTING**////
}
// Not buffering events, send immediatly
SendBuffer(new LoggingEvent[] { loggingEvent } );
}
}
===========================================
I have set the buffersize to 1. So when SendBuffer is called when
remoting is used loggingEvent object does not have the property values
in it.
However when I use the adonetappender directly I don't get this problem.
The two properties I am setting are "User" and "Client" in my example.
Here is config file I use on the client side. I have commented out the
one of the appenders in the client side based on whether I do remoting
or direct adonetappender.
===================================================================
===================================================================
Here's the server side config. I have both LogFileAppender and
adonetappender configured. As I said before all the property values show
up correctly on the logfileappender during use of remoting.

What do your 2 log4net configuration files look like?
In your receiving app what happens if you add a FileAppender that would
log the property values, for example:
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="log-file.txt" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d %-5p %c %X{YourPropertyName} - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
