RE: Configuration Usage/Behaviour question

[Nicko Cadell <ni...@neoworks.com>]

You can specify the repository to use for an assembly using an assembly
attribute. This does have to be compiled into the assembly itself.

[assembly: log4net.Config.Repository("Repository Name")]

You can also specify the configuration attribute in the assembly to
locate the configuration for that assembly.

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension="log4net",
Watch=true)]

There is an example in the log4net download at
examples\net\1.0\Repository. This contains an application (SimpleApp)
that uses 2 assemblies, SharedModule.dll does not utilise a separate
repository, SimpleModule.dll does create a separate repository with
separate configuration.
