FW: MDC when using remoting

[Deepanjan Ganguly <De...@DTAG.Com>]

Hi,
 
I have been using log4net beta 8 for sometime now with several different
Appenders and they work great. I am now trying to use the remoting
appender and I am experiencing some problems with ADONetAppender. Here's
what is happening.
 
I have a windows service which hosts the log4net on the server. It is
set up to use ADONetAppender and LogFileAppender. 
On the client side the remoting appender is set up. 
On the client I am setting to properties using the MDC. These values are
set properly and I can see it the LogFile on the server, however I don't
see them in the table (sql server)
When I modified the client to use the adonetappender, I can see these
two values in the table also. This proves that the configuration for the
database and the table is correct.
What am I doing wrong here? that it does not update when I am using
remoting? Any help is appreciated. I am attaching the configuration
setup for adoappender and logfileappender. The "Client" and "User" are
the two context info which need to be in the table. 
 
Thanks for all the help

Here's  what the client code is doing: I have just added part of the
code.
 
..
..
MDC.Set ("User", Environment.UserDomainName+"/"+ Environment.UserName );
MDC.Set ("Client", Environment.MachineName ) ;
 
 
if (log.IsInfoEnabled) 
log.Info("Application [RemotingClient] Start");

anyone has tried to using log4net in CodeSmith? I can't make it work.
It will be great if we can using log4net when developing a template in
CodeSmith.

thanks.
