Parsing a log generated by a RollingFileAppender with LINQ to XML

["José (bluemail)" <jo...@bluewin.ch>]

Hello, 

This post is not directly related to log4net. However, I have a parsing
issue with one of the generated log file.

I'm currently trying to parse (with LINQ to XML) a log file generated by a
RollingFileAppender.
It has the format as shown at the end of this post (XML fragment, undeclared
namespace).

I tried to load it using the XElement.Load() method. However, it throws an
exception telling me that the "log4j" namespace is undeclared.

Has anyone already tried to load such a file using linq?

Thanks for any feedback!
José
