FW: MDC when using remoting

[Deepanjan Ganguly]

Hi,   I have been using log4net beta 8 for sometime now with several different Appenders and they work great. I am now trying to use the remoting appender and I am experiencing some problems with ADONetAppender. Here’s what is happening.   I have a windows service which hosts the log4net on the server. It is set up to use ADONetAppender and LogFileAppender. On the client side the remoting appender is set up. On the client I am setting to properties using the MDC. These values are set properly and I can see it the LogFile on the server, however I don’t see them in the table (sql server) When I modified the client to use the adonetappender, I can see these two values in the table also. This proves that the configuration for the database and the table is correct. What am I doing wrong here? that it does not update when I am using remoting? Any help is appreciated. I am attaching the configuration setup for adoappender and logfileappender. The “Client” and “User” are the two context info which need to be in the table.   Thanks for all the help =========================================================================================================== <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">                                     <param name="File" value="log-file.txt" />                                     <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />                                     <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                                                 <param name="Header" value="Log File Initialized\r\n" />                                                 <param name="Footer" value="Log File Closed\r\n" />                                                 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %X{User} %X{Client} (%P{hostname}) [%x] - %m%n" />                                     </layout> </appender> ===========================================================================================================    <appender name="ADONetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ADONetAppender">              <bufferSize value="1" />              <connectionType value="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, System.Data, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />              <connectionString value="server=TWEB01\\RESGUI; database=ResDevlDb;Integrated Security=Yes;persist security info=true" />              <commandText value="INSERT INTO Res_AppLog ([Date],[Level],[Logger],[User],[Message],[Exception],[Client]) VALUES (@log_date, @log_level, @logger,@user, @message, @exception, @client)" />              <parameter>                          <parameterName value="@log_date" />                          <dbType value="DateTime" />                          <layout type="log4net.Layout.RawTimeStampLayout" />              </parameter>              <parameter>                <parameterName value="@log_level" />                <dbType value="String" />                <size value="50" />                <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                           <conversionPattern value="%p" />                </layout>              </parameter>              <parameter>                <parameterName value="@logger" />                <dbType value="String" />                <size value="255" />                <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                           <conversionPattern value="%c" />                </layout>              </parameter>              <parameter>               <parameterName value="@user" />                 <dbType value="String" />                 <size value="50" />                 <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                           <conversionPattern value="%X{User}" />                 </layout>               </parameter>                <parameter>                 <parameterName value="@message" />                 <dbType value="String" />                 <size value="4000" />                 <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                           <conversionPattern value="%m" />                 </layout>               </parameter>               <parameter>                 <parameterName value="@exception" />                 <dbType value="String" />                 <size value="2000" />                 <layout type="log4net.Layout.ExceptionLayout" />               </parameter>                          <parameter>               <parameterName value="@client" />                 <dbType value="String" />                 <size value="50" />                 <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                           <conversionPattern value="%X{Client}" />                 </layout>               </parameter>              </appender>   Here’s  what the client code is doing: I have just added part of the code.   .. ..
