What does the MemoryAppender's Fix() method do?
The documentation for the MemoryAppender class mentions a Fix method and a FixFlags property, but there is absolutely no information about what they actually do. Could someone please explain them?
Thank you.

I am interested because the documentation for the Fix properties and methods is so poor. I do not know when I am supposed to use them or what I am supposed to use them for, or what is used internally and what is designed for public use.

Because the FixVolatileData method is now protected and invoked in the setter of the Fix property.
I am wondering why you're so interested in the core internals of log4net? This goes far beyond a simple question about how to use log4net. :)

Thank you very much. I understand now. But I note that in the link below, it says that FixVolatileData() is now considered obsolete. Why is that?

Because we are caching the LoggingEvent beyond the lifetime of the Append() method we volatile data in the logging event must be fixed. Otherwise they would no longer be available for later use. That is documented further here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Core.LoggingEvent.FixVolatileData_overload_1.html
Sorry for being incomplete in the first message. :)

I think this is what you're looking for, isn't it?
