You could store the value of CustomerID inside a context such as ThreadContext:
log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["CustomerID"] = customerId; Or you could write your own logger: http://tinyurl.com/b2lxq http://www.mail-archive.com/log4net-user%40logging.apache.org/msg01993.html that has overloads for passing in a CustomerID: log.Info(customerId, "Hello World"); This is how the parameter node would retrieve the value: <conversionPattern value="%property{CustomerID}" /> This page shows all the available patterns: http://tinyurl.com/e3nd3 http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Layout.PatternLayout.html --- "Smith, Johnathon (KEYPEOPLE RESOURCES INC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am new to Log4net, so forgive me if this has been answered, but I > could not find an answer to my question in the documentation or > mailing > lists. > > I saw one post in the mailing list that had custom parameters for the > AdoNetLogger and I want to do the same thing.
