Getting AdoNetAppender parameters using Log4Net API

[Cankut Eskin <ca...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've defined some extra parameters for AdoNetAppender in log4net config
file. Everything works fine.

Here is one of my extra parameters defined:

    <parameter>
      <parameterName value="@cachetid"/>
      <dbType value="String"/>
      <size value="36"/>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.RawPropertyLayout">
        <key value="CachetID"/>
      </layout>
    </parameter>

I wonder if there is some way in Log4Net API to get information about the
parameters defined for AdoNetAppender in the config file.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Cankut

Surprisingly the parameters collection isn't exposed publicly so you'd have to extend the built-in AdoNetAppender and expose them:

public class AdoNetAppender2 : AdoNetAppender
{
    public AdoNetAppenderParameter[] GetParameters()
    {
        return m_parameters.Cast<AdoNetAppenderParameter>().ToArray();
    }
}

Then you can ask the repository for all the AdoNetAppender2 appenders and inspect their values:

var repository = LogManager.GetRepository();
foreach (var appender in repository.GetAppenders())
{
    var adoNetAppender = appender as AdoNetAppender2;
    if (adoNetAppender != null)
    {
        foreach (var parameter in adoNetAppender.GetParameters())
        {
            // parameter.ParameterName;
        }
    }
}
