-------------------------------------

             Summary: Log extended properties of Exception to log file
                 Key: LOG4NET-424
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-424
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 1.2.13
            Reporter: Dominik Rauch
            Priority: Minor


Sometimes framework developers add properties to Exception classes but forget to add the contents of those properties to the exception message.

E.g.:
{code}
class MyException : Exception
{
    ...

    public string UsefulInfo { get; private set; }
}
{code}

As we can only change our Exception classes but have no access to those frameworks, some help of the logging framework would be nice.

It would be nice if you could configure log4net in a way to also log all properties of an Exception class as well, that are not already in the base System.Exception class (currently only Message & StackTrace are logged).

I guess you would need to do some Reflection in order to get this to work. Yes, reflection is slow, however, we do not exception to happen such Exception logging very often.
