Title: Message
I am modifying the buffer size and the connection string of ADONetAppenders programmatically and I am getting a SqlConnection leak.  The number of open connections to SQL Server grows to the max connection pool size when I do this repeatedly.
 
The leak occurs when I call ActivateOptions on the ADONetAppender after I set its BufferSize and ConnectionString.  The documentation says that you need to call ActivateOptions after you modify the appenders configuration.  The ActivateOptions method creates a new connection and overwrites the ADONetAppenders connect member m_dbConnection with the new instance.  The leak occurs because the the old connection is not closed.
 
Here is basically what I am doing:
...
((log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton)logAppender).BufferSize = size;
((log4net.Appender.ADONetAppender)logAppender).ConnectionString = ADOConnectionString;
((log4net.Appender.ADONetAppender)logAppender).ActivateOptions();
 
I am doing something wrong or is this a bug?
 
thanks,
Nick
