Hello Nicko.
Will this enable the use of such properties in the value attribute of the File
element of a FileAppender and RollingFileAppender configuration?
E.g.:
<appender name="RollingFile"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="%property{BIN_DIR}\\..\\logs\\Application.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="128KB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="16" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}
[%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
Thanks.
Jonathan.

Jonathan,
This is a good plan, so good in fact that I have been working on similar
functionality using the new GlobalContext.
Essentially you will be able to store global properties in the
GlobalContext.Properties map. These value can then be retrieved during
configuration using the new PatternString class. This uses formatting
similar to the PatternLayout, e.g. %property{OUTPUT_DIR}.
Cheers,
Nicko
