Hi There,
I have been working with log4net now for a few weeks, after some work I have
managed to use the ADONetAppender to log to a MySQL DB. However, although I can
get messages into my DB, I am getting the following error on my console:
log4net:ERROR [AdoNetAppender] Could not open database connection []
System.ArgumentNullException: Key cannot be null.
Parameter name: key
at System.Collections.Hashtable.get_Item(Object key)
at
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlPoolManager.GetPool(MySqlConnectionStringBuilder
settings)
at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()
at log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.InitializeDatabaseConnection()
log4net:ERROR [AdoNetAppender] Could not open database connection []
System.ArgumentNullException: Key cannot be null.

at
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlPoolManager.GetPool(MySqlConnectionStringBuilder
settings)
at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()
at log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.InitializeDatabaseConnection()
The code for logging to my DB is as follows:
using log4net;
using log4net.Appender;
using log4net.Repository.Hierarchy;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Text;
namespace BGCPLogger.LogSetup
{
public class SetUpLog
{
internal readonly ILog _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(SetUpLog));
/*****************************************************************************/
internal SetUpLog()
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
}
/*****************************************************************************/
public SetUpLog(string dbConn)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
createAdoSettings(dbConn);
}
/*****************************************************************************/
private Hierarchy hierachy()
{
Hierarchy h = (Hierarchy)log4net.LogManager.GetRepository();
return h;
}
/*****************************************************************************/
private AdoNetAppender adoAppender()
{
Hierarchy myHierarchy = hierachy();
if (myHierarchy != null)
{
AdoNetAppender adoApp =
(AdoNetAppender)myHierarchy.Root.GetAppender("ADONetAppender");
return adoApp;
}
return null;
}
/*****************************************************************************/
private void createAdoSettings(string dbConn)
{
AdoNetAppender myAppender = adoAppender();
if (myAppender != null)
{
myAppender.ConnectionString = dbConn;
myAppender.UseTransactions = true;
myAppender.ActivateOptions();
}
}
}
}
My log4net section in my app.config looks like this:

</appender>
</log4net>
I am sure this is a fairly simple thing to fix, right now I am assuming that it
is just some missing configuration. If anyone could shed some light on this, I
would be very greatful.
