This patch allows the connection string to come from the App.Config's connectionStrings section:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-88 It will most likely make it into the next release. I need to contact Phil and make him re-upload the files with the appropriate radio button for Apache inclusion selected. You could write your own AppSettings ConnectionString AdoNetAppender: public class AppSettingsConnectionStringAdoNetAppender : AdoNetAppender { public new string ConnectionString { get { return base.ConnectionString; } set { base.ConnectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[value]; } } } ----- Original Message ---- From: "Bergemann, Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 10:15:45 AM Subject: AdoNetAppender Connection String from App Config Hi All, I am trying to pull the configuration for the connection string of an ADONetAppender outside of the log4net configuration information. Is there any way that I can update my AdoNetAppender with a new connection string after using the XmlConfigurator to load the configuration? Since I already have connection strings that need to be populated for Castle, ASP.NET memberships as well as log4net I really need my connection string information consolidated into one location and inside the log4net tag will not work. It would be nice if I could put something like ${log4netconnstring} in place of the connection string for my AdoNetAppender and the configurator will then know to pull the connection string from the “log4netconnstring” application setting instead.
