I'm using log4net 1.2.9.0

Right now, my Fileappender output looks like this

Void WriteToLog_Info(System.String):busContent.clsSaveContent.Save(): After calling CreateContentCache()

Void WriteToLog_Info(System.String):busContent.clsSaveContent.Save() - Leaving

Void WriteToLog_Info(System.String):busContent.clsRetrieveContent.Retrieve() - Entering

But I want it to look more like this...

2005-08-30 08:56:27,968[120048]INFO busContent.clsSaveContent.Save(): After calling CreateContentCache()

2005-08-30 08:56:27,968[120049]INFO busContent.clsSaveContent.Save(): Leaving

2005-08-30 08:56:27,968[120050]INFO busContent.clsRetrieveContent.Retrieve() - Entering

2005-08-30 08:57:58,890[129088]ERROR busContent.clsRetrieveContent.SetVersionNumber(): Object variable not set

120049 should be the thread id.

clsSaveContent and clsRetrieveContent are 2 classes of busContent component.

I'm more interested in getting the initial part (2005-08-30 08:56:27,968[120048]INFO) of the message.

Which version of log4net are you using?

What does the output of your FileAppender look like at the moment?

In your desired output example you have a chunk in square brackets (e.g.

[120048]) between the date and the level name, what do you want here?

Thread ID?

From your example is "Void WriteToLog_Info(System.String)" part of your

log message text?

Cheers,

Nicko
