RE: Is there a way to use log4net without the App.Config file all-together?

Can you not encrypt the portion of log4net in App.config?

all-together?

 

Hi All:

 

Maybe you can point me in the right direction.   I'm using .NET 1.1 and
log4net 1.2.

 

I was able to get log4net integrated into a WinForms application in C#.
My manager asked if I could completely remove all log4net dependencies
to the App.Config file.

 

I was able to pull out all of the entries in between:

 

<log4net>

....

</log4net>

 

(and now get them from a database row as a clob) and have them streamed
into the XmlConfigurator.Configure(...).   

 

However, I discovered that I must still have the following in the
App.Config:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>   

<configuration>

  <configSections>        

    <sectionGroup name="common">

      <section name="logging"
type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />

    </sectionGroup>

    <section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net" />

  </configSections>

  <common>

    <logging>

      <factoryAdapter
type="Common.Logging.Log4Net.Log4NetLoggerFactoryAdapter,
Common.Logging.Log4Net">

        <!-- choices are INLINE, FILE, FILE-WATCH, EXTERNAL-->

        <!-- otherwise BasicConfigurer.Configure is used   -->

        <!-- log4net configuration file is specified with key
configFile-->

        <arg key="configType" value="INLINE" />

      </factoryAdapter>

    </logging>

  </common>  

</configuration>

 

If I attempt to "pull out" the above from the app.config and "stream" it
into the XmlConfigurator, the call to 

 

private static readonly ILog Log =
LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MainForm));          

 

ends up returning an instance of Common.Logging.Simple.NoOpLogger

rather than Common.Logging.Log4net.Log4NetLogger.

 

 

Does anyone know of a way that I can completely do away with the Config
file (as per my manager's request) and programmatically load the

Log4net runtime with the data that would otherwise be contained in the
App.Config "section data" section?

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
