configuration with dynamic settings
hello all
i try to configure log4net like log4j with some dynamic settings.
e.g. in log4j i can configure a dynamic file name like
log4j.appender.fileout.File=../some/path/${applicationname}_${somepropvalue}.log
for application name 'a' and somepropvalue 'p' this would result
in a file named a_p.log.
(this works also for rolling file appenders)
the only way i found until now is todo it in the application code.
big question is how to configure this behaviour in config file ??
many thanks in advance.

In your config file you can set your appender to be like:
<appender name="something" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="%property{LogName}" />
...
</appender>
Then you just need to set the value of the property "LogName" somewhere,
which you can easily set it through command line arguments if you choose:
log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["LogName"] = @"c:\somewhere\file.log";

i forgot to say that in my little log4j example
"log4j.appender.fileout.File=../some/path/${applicationname}_${somepropvalue}.log"
the applicationname and somepropvalue was defined as
vm prop (java -Dsomepropvalue=...)
i would like to set up the same for log4net .
