How to log to the same Log instance from multiple classes

[Marco Herrn <ma...@sourcepark.org>]

Hi,

I don't know if the subject makes really clear what I want.
I want to configure log4net only once, usually this way:

this.log= LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyClass));			
log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.Configure(new 
System.IO.FileInfo("log4net.xml"));

Now I want to log from other classes too, without reconfiguring the 
Logger. So all other classes should be able to access log4net by only 
calling the first line above. Of course, they should use the same 
configuration.
So, how can this be done?


And, btw., do you know way of getting the classname of the current class 
dynamically instead of using 'typeof(MyClass)'? I know this isn't 
log4net specific, but maybe you can help me here too :-)

I normally use a static variable if I want to use the same configuration 
across classes.  That way I only configure it once.

The way that I use to call the configuration so that it is not hard coded, 
but is to be used throughout the assembly is:

log = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod.
DeclaringType);
