Initializing log4net in code

[Ivo Limmen <iv...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is is possible to initialize log4net within code? I have been a log4j fan 
for a few years and have been initializing the loggers within code but the 
log4net API is quite different than that of log4j.

Best regards,
Ivo Limmen

I could not sleep tonight and wend through the code and figured it out by 
myself. Here is an example to show how it is done for other people that 
might want to do this:

 Hierarchy hierarchy = (Hierarchy) LogManager.GetRepository();

 ConsoleAppender consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
 consoleAppender.Layout = new SimpleLayout();

 hierarchy.Root.Additivity = true;
 hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(consoleAppender);
 hierarchy.Root.Level = Level.All;

 Logger myLog = (Logger) hierarchy.GetLogger("MyLog");

 RollingFileAppender fileAppender = new RollingFileAppender();
 fileAppender.File = "output.log";
 fileAppender.Layout = new SimpleLayout();
 fileAppender.ImmediateFlush = true;
 fileAppender.RollingStyle = RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Size;
 fileAppender.MaximumFileSize = "10MB";
 fileAppender.AppendToFile = true;
 fileAppender.MaxSizeRollBackups = 10;
 fileAppender.Threshold = Level.Error;
 fileAppender.ActivateOptions();

 //myLog.Level = Level.Error;
 myLog.Additivity = true;
 myLog.AddAppender(fileAppender);

 hierarchy.Configured = true;

 LogManager.GetLogger("").Debug("Debug message on ROOT");
 LogManager.GetLogger("").Info("Info message on ROOT");
 LogManager.GetLogger("").Error("Error message on ROOT");

 LogManager.GetLogger("MyLog").Debug("Debug message on MyLog");
 LogManager.GetLogger("MyLog").Info("Info message on MyLog");
 LogManager.GetLogger("MyLog").Error("Error message on MyLog");

 Console.ReadLine();
