David, The first thing is to ensure that the connectionType is specified as an assembly qualified name, i.e. "classname,assemblyname". This allows the .net framework to locate the type in a separate assembly an load it.
Also you need to enable internal log4net debugging to see the error messages that the ADONetAppender produces. http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/faq.html#internalDebug Cheers, Nicko > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 November 2004 23:05 > To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org > Subject: ado.net and MySQL > > hi, > > Is it possible to connect to a MySQL database? > > I have installed the MySQL Connector/Net 1.0 component, and I > tried to create an appender with this parameter: > <appender name="ADONetAppender_MySQL" > type="log4net.Appender.ADONetAppender"> > <connectionType value="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" /> <... > > but it doesn't work. > > Is there someone how has some experience with ado.net > appender on MySQL database? > Thanks for any help. > > Best Regards > > David >
