Jon:
Thanks for the reply!
I had thought of doing what you have done but I was wondering if there is an
easier way.
When you built your own logger, was it a big job, i.e. did you find yourself
having to implement a whole bunch the methods already on the default
LogManager? were there any other classes/interfaces that you had to
build/extend/implement to make this work?

Hi Kevin,
I am not a log4net guru so hopefully one of the experienced guys will
chime in. In the mean time…
I have created a customer logger and use the following statement when
adding the logger to a class:
Private Shared mLog As IGSIEventLog = GSIEventLogManager.GetLogger((
Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType))
The big difference is referencing "my" log manager and not the "default"
log4net log manager.
Also, I created my logger in the log4net.Ext.GSI namespace and so have the
following imports:
Imports log4net.Ext.GSI
Hope that helps!

*Subject:* Building A Custom Logger
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)?
