Specifying log level at runtime

This may be obvious, but I've missed it. (And I did try searching the
mailing list archives too.)

Is there any simple way to specify the level of a logging in a C#
program at runtime? The logger exposes methods log.Debug, log.Error,
etc., but if I have the level passed into a function as a
log4net.Core.Level value, is there any way other than using a switch
statement and 5 log.xxx statements to get the results I want?

Thanks.

I'm not positive, but I believe so.

Hi Walden,

 

Thanks - that looks like it's what I was hoping for (although a bit more
convoluted than I'd prefer :-)

 

One further question. For the situations where there is no exception, is
it OK to use null for the fourth argument?

 

(There apparently is no overload that omits that fourth argument.)

 

Thanks again.

 

Rennie

	Something along these lines? 

	 

	log.Logger.Log(this.GetType(), log4net.Core.Level.Critical, "The
message", theException);

	 

	where log is the "normal" class-level logger:

	 

	static readonly log4net.ILog log =
log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMeth
od().DeclaringType);
