By multiple services do you mean separate .NET processes running as Services
(i.e. start, stop, pause, resume)?
Is this what your startup code looks like?
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
GlobalContext.Properties["BaseLogsDirectory"] = "c:\\Logs";
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
}

Subject: GlobalContext.Properties, RollingFileAppender, and PatternString
I have multiple services running using log4net on a system and would like to
globally set the base logging directory programmatically at startup.
It seems I should be able to set a BaseLogsDirectory property in
GlobalContext.Properties
and use it in a pattern string like this:
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
value="%property{BaseLogsDirectory}\logfilename" />
Although the property seems to added, the next log call ends up creating a
"(null)" directory in the executing assembly's directory, where the files end
up.
Am I forgetting something?
Thanks,
Chris
