RE: Turn off logging for a specific event only

Below is the structure of my code. In my constructor, I load my configuration file and configure my log4net logger.

myFunction() method gets called from the Main() method. As you can see, when entering the myFunction() method, I want to set the log level to OFF and then reset it to DEBUG while exiting the function. The myFunction() methods calls several other components and methods (for eg: a,b, c, etc) to do stuff and hence passing the Boolean variable to this method will not work. Also, having an separate appender will not work in my scenario, since the methods a, b and c will be used in various other places as well.

public myConstructor()

{

if (logconfigpath == null)

{

logconfigpath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

logconfigpath += System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.RelativeSearchPath;

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(Path.GetFullPath(logconfigpath) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString() + "myconfigfile.xml"));

}

public void Main(XmlElement oParameter1, string sParameter2, string sParameter3, string sParameter4)

{

logger.Info(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() + ": Entering.");

//do my stuff here.

String sResult = myFunction (oParameter1, sParameter2);

logger.Info(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() + ": Leaving.");

}

private string myFunction(XmlElement oParameter1, string sParameter2)

{

//turn off logging here...I would like to set the loglevel to OFF

//do my stuff here.

//turn on the logging .....I would like to reset the loglevel to DEBUG

}

After looking around on the internet, I found this code

log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger logger2 = (log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger)log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("myappendername").Logger);

logger2.Level = logger2.Repository.LevelMap["OFF"];

But this is not working as expected. Log messages are still being writing to my log file, even though the level is set to OFF. Obviously, I'm missing something here.

Please help

Thank you

Will this work?

private int calculateBigNumber(bool loggingEnabled)

{

if (loggingEnabled && log.IsDebugEnabled)

{

log.Debug("Entering method");

}

int result = 0;

for (int i=0;i<100;i++)

{

result += i;

}

if (loggingEnabled && log.IsDebugEnabled)

{

log.Debug("Leaving method");

}

return result;

}

Subject: Turn off logging for a specific event only

Is it possible to turn off the logging for a specific event? I would like to turn of the logging when the code hits a particular method and reset the logging to its original value which is "DEBUG" while exiting that method. Is it possible to accomplish this? If so, please provide me some sample code on how to achieve this. My code is in c#.net and uses log4net version 1.2.10

Please help

Thanks.
