check out http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html and http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#trouble-EventLog
for the basics of configuring logging to the event log and some issues trying to do it from and ASP.NET application. The syntax you are proposing to use is a little dubious, but if you just make a standard call to the logger, the message will get passed properly. Passing the eventID requires the use of a property, and there is an extended discussion here... http://www.l4ndash.com/Log4NetMailArchive%2Ftabid%2F70%2Fforumid%2F1%2Fpostid%2F14282%2Fview%2Ftopic%2FDefault.aspx and there is also an extension project that does this for you, though you may have to rev it to the latest .NET version. http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/example-apps.html On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 5:08 AM, <sclo...@consultant.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm wondering can you help me please?
