I'd like to use log4net's RollingAppender to write to isolated storage, but I can't figure out how to configure log4net to do so. To be clear, I'm trying to do this in an installed WPF application so I don't have some of the issues that some of the Silverlight users have already posted.
I thought my best chance was to dynamically set the file path as described in this answer, Best way to dynamically set an appender file path, but of course you don't have access to the isolated storage's file path.
Can anyone confirm whether it's possible to setup a log4net RollingAppender to use the isolated storage, and if so how?
I don't know if this will help you, but I posted an idea for creating a new Target for NLog that could write to isolated storage. I have not tested it, but it seems pretty straightforward.
Here is the link to the question where I posted my suggestion as an answer:
Logging with NLog into an Isolated Storage
Assuming it works, it would probably be pretty easy to create something similar in log4net. Of course, it would not have the same capabilities as the RollingAppender, so it might not be of much use to you, even if it does work.

I have a largish application that currently uses log4cxx as its logging system. However, these appears to be a dead project, and I cannot get it to work with Visual Studio 2013. As such, I am looking to move to log4net
Our project is a mixed C+/C# project, using .net 3.5, and the logging is pretty simple
What is the best way to handle this migration. Any particular problems that people would expect to see, any required changes to config files, etc.
Also, is there a simple tutorial on how to use log4net. Unless I'm misreading it, it appears to be a case of reading the source examples until you figure it out.
I was trying to explore some ASP.NET-5 applications where I found the startup.cs file. Where we set out routing and all (of course not only for routing). I also see some demo where has shown the use of dependency injection here. So, I'm looking for answers to the below questions:
Why this startup.cs is? What it does?
What are the uses of this file?
What is the advantages of this?
And is there any good documentation to know the use of startup.cs in details. And why the application does not work if we change the class name 'Startup' to something else?
I do have very elementary idea about OWIN and pipeline. Please help me to find these answers.
Just repeating here what it's said in Getting started with vNext
By default, the vNext hosting environment expects to find a startup class named Startup.
This class must contain a Configure method that takes an IBuilder parameter, and you configure the HTTP pipeline inside this Configure method. The empty project creates the class with nothing in the Configure method.
I would recommend you to take a look on vNext Moving Parts by Louis Dejardin since it explains a bit more about OWIN pipeline and vNext.
Sorry for not being of much help!
I have linqpad referencing one of my own assemblies which uses log4net. When linqpad calls my assembly method I am setting my log4net logging levels to ERROR yet I see debug level messages from my assembly showing up in the linqpad results area.
Anybody know what causes this? Does Linqpad use log4net itself or have any special behavior with log4net?
LINQPad uses SharpDevelop which has a dependency on log4net, but this is kept pretty well isolated to the UI domain and shouldn't have any effect on your queries.
How are you configuring log4net? Is it programmatically or via an application config file? If it's the latter, the application config file should be named linqpad.config in order to be picked up by your queries.
I was having trouble with my configuration not being picked up. Creating a separate Linqpad.config (not editing LINQPad's own!) is the key bit of info I was missing - thanks Joe. Fantastic app by the way!
Does the Castle Logging Facility support anything in the way of what log4Net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch() does? I'd like to use the Windsor logging facility but I'd really like to be able to change the logging config at runtime as well. Can anyone point me in the direction of how I'd accomplish this?
According to this file in the Castle source repository, the Castle log4net implementation does (or can) do a ConfigureAndWatch. I haven't used Castle, so I can't comment on exactly how to take advantage of this. My first guess is that it should "just work". If you are using Castle and you can configure its logging to use log4net, you might already be getting ConfigureAndWatch. It is possible that ConfigureAndWatch only works if you configure log4net in its own config file (as opposed to the app.config or web.config). It should not be too difficult to test (if you are already using Castle) to see if ConfigureAndWatch works as expected.
If you are not using Castle already, you might want to wait for someone more familiar with Castle and Castle logging to post an answer.
Here are another SO post about Castle logging that you might find helpful:
This one shows log4net configuration in the app.config/web.config (the accepted answer is from February 2010. I don't know if there is more recent information available or not):
Logging with Castle.Facilities.Logging and log4net
Good luck!
I have successfully implemented SUBSONIC DAL in my desktop application. it was superb experience. but subsonic reads database password from app.config file. as app.config deploy with application on client side, therefore its a big security threat.
It would be helpful if i can read database password from a variable instead of app.config.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
The easiest and best way to protect connection string data is to encrypt the connection string section of the app.config
Read here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.rsaprotectedconfigurationprovider.aspx
Dataservice.setdefaultconnectionstring() resolve my problem
The short answer to this is probably not going to happen because it would mean that either you need to add all the source files to your current project and change the way subsonic loads the connection string.
If you are worried about passwords being deployed to the client then it might be a better idea to use integrated security which works brilliantly.
Also you did not specify which version you are using , since modifying v3 is a little easier in my opinion
