As always, very helpful, Ron. Thanks, that worked. Just so I'm clear, though ...
If these filters are additive, then why do I get everything if I don't specify any filter at all? And if they're subtractive, why do I need the DenyAllFilter at all? Or is there something special about DenyAllFilter? See what I mean? How do these filters work together? Is there a documentation section that outlines it so you don't hafta 'splain? I didn't see one. -BillyB WILLIAM BARNUM [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ron Grabowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 3:13 PM To: Log4NET User Subject: Re: Trouble with PropertyFilter <filter type="log4net.Filter.PropertyFilter"> <Key value="LogEventCategory" /> <StringToMatch value="AssertionHandling" /> </filter> <filter type="log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter" /> --- Billy Barnum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having trouble making a PropertyFilter work with some custom > properties > of mine, and the archives didn't turn up anything.
