FYI, there is code in SVN that allows this:
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<![CDATA[
<GSIEventLog>
<Domain>%domain</Domain>
<ClassName>%class</ClassName>
<RenderedMessage>%message</RenderedMessage>
<HostName>%property{log4net:HostName}</HostName>
<Identity>%identity</Identity>
<LoggerName>%logger</LoggerName>
<ThreadName>%thread</ThreadName>
<TimeStamp>%timestamp</TimeStamp>
<EventId>%property{EventId}</EventId>
<Message2>%property{Message}</Message2>
<AppUser>%property{AppUser}</AppUser>
<SourceId>%property{SourceId}</SourceId>
</GSIEventLog>
]]>
</layout>
That may or may not be easier to read.
It looks like the %exception pattern always called ToString() on the
ExceptionObject. I wonder if people would find these useful:
%exception{message}
%exception{stackTrack}
%exception{source}
etc...
