In log4net 1.2.9 you can add additional patterns to the PatternLayout in
the config file:
For example you could define a custom pattern that looks up a user's
SpecialFolder:
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<converter>
<name value="folder" />
<type
value="TestConsoleApp.SpecialFolderPatternConverter,TestConsoleApp" />
</converter>
<conversionPattern>%folder{MyMusic}-
%message%newline</conversionPattern>
</layout>
The code for the custom converter is:
public class SpecialFolderPatternConverter :
log4net.Util.PatternConverter
{
override protected void Convert(System.IO.TextWriter writer, object
state)
{
Environment.SpecialFolder specialFolder =
(Environment.SpecialFolder)Enum.Parse(typeof(Environment.SpecialFolder),
base.Option, true);
writer.Write(Environment.GetFolderPath(specialFolder));
}
}
If you want to create a subclass of PatternLayout you can add converters
directly by calling the AddConverter method from your subclass
constructor.
