Ah=2C i think I see.

Have you considered just logging the XML as a string to the DB=2C then u= se something else to parse it at a latter stage?

&g= t=3B Apart from a custom message I also wish to log some custom event data = i.e. a

>=3B >=3B= >=3B
>=3B >=3B>=3B
>=3B >=3B>=3B Hi=2C
>=3B >= =3B>=3B
>=3B >=3B>=3B I've been evaluating log4net recently wit= h a view to using the framework
>=3B >=3B>=3B as
>=3B >=3B&= gt=3B a loggin standard for our enterprise applicaption. I see it very easy= to
>=3B >=3B>=3B extend the framework=2C however I have some spec= ific logging requirements
>=3B >=3B>=3B and
>=3B >=3B>=3B= I'm not sure what would be the easiest way implement these with minimal>=3B >=3B>=3B coding.
>=3B >=3B>=3B
>=3B >=3B>=3B= At some time in the future=2C we aim to build a consolidated logging
&g= t=3B >=3B>=3B database
>=3B >=3B>=3B that will capture logging= data from our server application suite. The
>=3B >=3B>=3B informa= tion that needs to be logged will differ per service/applicaption
>=3B= >=3B>=3B and
>=3B >=3B>=3B to that end I would aim to have a = table schema that has the standard
>=3B >=3B>=3B logging
>=3B= >=3B>=3B columns plus a generic XML column (no defined schema) to act = as a
>=3B >=3B>=3B property
>=3B >=3B>=3B bag for custom = information associated with a specific event.
>=3B >=3B>=3B
&g= t=3B >=3B>=3B We don't have time to develop the logging repository at p= resent=2C however
>=3B >=3B>=3B I'm
>=3B >=3B>=3B stressi= ng that we should build logging into our code from the start
>=3B >= =3B>=3B rather
>=3B >=3B>=3B than trying to retro-fitting it lat= er which would be far more costly.
>=3B >=3B>=3B
>=3B >=3B= >=3B So I need my code to be able to fire off logging messages with a lis= t or
>=3B >=3B>=3B arbitrary custom properties that get formatted = into an XML string. For
>=3B >=3B>=3B now
>=3B >=3B>=3B t= he messages can be written to a text file and later we'll configure and
= >=3B >=3B>=3B AdoNetAppender to write to out logging database.
>= =3B >=3B>=3B
>=3B >=3B>=3B So my questions are:
>=3B >= =3B>=3B - Is this possible using configuration only? (I susopect not)
= >=3B >=3B>=3B - If not then which custom objects do I need to create?= From what I've
>=3B >=3B>=3B seen
>=3B >=3B>=3B so far I= think I'll need to code my own Layout Class
>=3B >=3B>=3B - The I= Log interface doesn't doesn't expose a method that takes a
>=3B >=3B= >=3B property
>=3B >=3B>=3B bag (or dictionary)=2C but it appear= s that the LoggingEvent object does.
>=3B >=3B>=3B Does
>=3B = >=3B>=3B that mean I would have to make my logging calls using ILog.Log= ger.Log()?
>=3B >=3B>=3B - Could someone provide some sample code = please?
