[jira] Commented: (LOG4NET-174) log4net.dll references assemblies that are not part of the .NET 3.5 SP1 client profile

["Hugh Anderson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-174?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12886897#action_12886897 ] 

Hugh Anderson commented on LOG4NET-174:
---------------------------------------

Totally agree with Rober McCarter's comment.  I'm working on a Windows client app that won't need System.Web and I do not want to target the full .Net framework profile.

Please make System.Web an optional component so that non-web-based apps don't need the additional overhead of an unneeded reference.

> .Net 3.5 SP1 / VS 2008 SP1 has a new build feature: the "client-only framework subset" switch in the projects settings, meaning that the developer can specify that only a limited subset of the .Net framework is used. This helps in reducing the size of installers that include the .Net framework.
> Unfortunately, log4net.dll (1.2.10) has references to System.Web, which is not part of this "client-only framework subset". This leads to the following compilation warning:
> <<<
> C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3253: The referenced assembly "log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b44e1d426115821, processorArchitecture=MSIL" has a dependency on "System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which is not listed as part of the "Client" TargetFrameworkSubset. If this dependent reference is required, you may get compilation errors.
> >>>
> My proposal is to split log4net.dll into a new log4net.dll (core+generic appenders) and into a separate appender DLL (log4net.server.dll) for deployment on servers only.
