Adding a new field to the layout

[David Elliott <we...@hotmail.com>]

Is there an example of adding new fields to the layout?

I would like to add fields such as internal error number,
application name, module name, etc.

Thanks,
Dave

I got this working this weekend. It's pretty slick. 


in your code.....

...
log4net.MDC.Set("AnotherVariable", AnotherVariableData); 
...
ILog l  = LogManager.GetLogger("MyLogger");
l.Error(MyMessage,MyException);
...


In your config ...

		<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
			<conversionPattern value="%X{AnotherVariable}" />
		</layout>


The Key components are the "%X{...}" and the "log4net.MDC.Set"

Hope that helps.
