I wish to include user in log messages. Read this post http://piers7.blogspot.com/2005/12/log4net-context-problems-with-aspnet.html but don't know if this is still accurate. And if it is, is this still the right wordaround. If it is, does anyone have a more complete explanation that a novice could follow (i.e. how to add a provider to the context). If is is not current, what is the current answer/solution? Thanks. Chris
