=0ASomeone had suggested this feature over a year ago:=0A=0Ahttp://issues.a=
pache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-10=0A=0AThey suggested using the %v pattern. =
Which value do you want outputed:=0A=0A Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()=0A As=
sembly.GetEntryAssembly()=0A Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()=0A=0ADo you ha=
ve any suggestions for what the other useful names would be? Since these pa=
tterns probably won't get used as often as some of the other patterns, I th=
ink its ok to use longer, more descriptive names (I don't know if these wou=
ld give you log4net information or information from your application):=0A=
=0A %callingAssembly=0A %entryAssembly=0A %executingAssembly=0A=0ALocationI=
nformation doesn't store the System.Type of the LoggingEvent (for serializa=
tion reasons?). One solution would be to write a small helper function that=
 translates the ClassName string into the appropriate Type (or Assembly):=

ayoutConverter =0A{=0A override protected void Convert(TextWriter writer, L=

ocationInformationType.Assembly.FullName);=0A }=0A}=0A=0AA more clever way =
may be to extract the assembly name from the full qualified ClassName strin=
g:=0A=0Awriter.Write(loggingEvent.LocationInformation.ClassName.Split(',')[=
1]);=0A=0AThe problem with the Split() method is that you will may get extr=

=0A--=0A=0A=0A=0AWould it be possible to replace "log4net.log" with some ot=
her parameter=0A=0Athat would refer to the assembly name say in braces and =
then add on a=0A=0Afile extension. For example:=0A=0A=0A=0A<file value=3D"{=
