Has anyone had experience building a custom logger? Here is what I am doing. I have created my own interface describing what the kinds of things a logger needs to be able to log in my environment (let's call it IInterface) like security audits, performance statistics, etc. This interface extends ILog as well. Thus: IInterface : ILog
Then, I have an implementation of IInterface and we'll call that InterfaceImpl which also inherits from LogImpl (in order to satisfy the ILog interface). Like so: InterfaceImpl : LogImpl, IInterface Now, when I go to put a logger in a class in which I want to perform logging, by default I would usually put the line of code: ILog _logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyClass)); What I would like to do is to be able to say: IInterface _logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyClass)); ...but this does not work (nor does anything else I have tried) because GetLogger returns LogImpl which knows nothing of my IInterface. Can anyone recommend anything that I can try without needing to modify the LogManager (a sealed class)?
