That is just a confusing artefact of Microsoft's code commenting. That is part 
of the comment like /// <summary> that indicates a code example follows. It is 
not part of the configuration.

Hi again,

That utility works a treat. Thanks a million Rob and Stephanie!

I have just two minor points (cosmetic).

1)     I have my log output in the rich text box (whose background colour is 
grey). My log output appears but its not in colour. I know its not essential, 
but it adds to user satisfaction to see errors in red. Any ideas why this is 
this case? Am I badly configured?

This is what my configuration section looks like;



  <appender name="MainFormRichTextAppender" 
type="log4net.Appender.RichTextBoxAppender">
    <file value="logs/RichTextAppenderRocks.log" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <maximumFileSize value="25000KB" />
    <maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <conversionPattern value="%date [%-2thread] %-5level %-70logger - 
%message%newline" />
    </layout>
    <code lang="XML" escaped="true">
      <mapping>
        <level value="DEBUG" />
        <textColorName value="DarkGreen" />

      </mapping>
      <mapping>
        <level value="INFO" />
        <textColorName value="ControlText" />

      </mapping>
      <mapping>
        <level value="WARN" />
        <textColorName value="Blue" />

      </mapping>
      <mapping>
        <level value="ERROR" />
        <textColorName value="Red" />
        <bold value="true" />
        <pointSize value="10" />

      </mapping>
      <mapping>
        <level value="FATAL" />
        <textColorName value="Black" />
        <backColorName value="Red" />
        <bold value="true" />
        <pointSize value="12" />
        <fontFamilyName value="Lucida Console" />

      </mapping>
    </code>
    </appender>



Thanks a million. This stuff rocks

Graham,

If you check back in the archives for this list about a month, someone posted 
an appender that writes to a RichTextBox. I used it and it works well. It 
allows you to colourize your output which is nice for the different log levels.

If you can't find it, let me know and I will repost.

Hi,

Could anybody tell me where is the best starting point to integrate log4net 
into a winforms application ?  I intend to have a UPD appender configured and 
have my log information displayed in a textbox. Is a textbox the best control 
to go with? How do I attach my log output to the control I ultimately decide 
upon?


Thanks for any info/replies. Have a nice day

Graham
