[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (LOG4NET-38) EventLogAppender: Add support for setting the Category on Event Log messages.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-38?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13086179#comment-13086179 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

Patch which adds support to the EventLogAppender to include the Category, just like EventID is currently able to be set.

Defaults to having a Category of 0 as that is what windows defaults to anyway.

> The EventLog supports Categories for each message. A category is a short integer.
> This could either be implemented as a fixed category value defined on the appender at config time, or as a value read from the LoggingEvent properties. The second option is more flexible as it allows the category to be specified for each message, a default category could still be specified in the appender configuration to allow for scenario 1 as well.
