Hi Wayne, I didn't wish to start a flame war. This is not the first time I've had trouble finding decent log4net docs when configuring without AppConfig, in fact Google hardly returns a thing on this topic. Surely database logging is one of the most popular features and I'm highlighting what I think to be a massive gap in its documentation. I love log4net, it was a no brainer for me to pick but don't think getting this library configured using pure C# is easy. Have you completed this task without using Xml config? Xml config is not always possible nor desirable. James.

I think that for FREE software provided with SOURCE - it's a pretty darn good tool at a pretty darn good price - and so does the rest of the _whole_ industry - it being an _industry_ _standard_! There are plenty of other loggers out there too - for free - open source - some good some not so good - all off the backs of some very hard work by some very tallented and commited people. w:// On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 9:48 AM, James Green <james.gr...@occam-dm.com> wrote: Hi Again, Surely, this is all pointing to a far bigger problem. That is an horrific piece of code!! Surely this is doable in pure C#? I'm amazed that this AdoNetAppender is so poorly documented and has so few examples. It's starting to put me off log4net!

I'm wrapping log4net and I don't want to cause every consuming component to require loads of config information in it just for logging purposes. Everything else is a sinch to configure in code, save for this appender ... *sigh* ...
