                 Key: LOG4NET-316
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-316
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: 1.2.11
            Reporter: Roy Chastain
            Priority: Minor


The DynamicPatternLayout is a layout pattern that is re-evaluated on each use.  
It is appropriate to use instead of LayoutPattern to provide dynamic strings in 
headers and footers for appenders.  Datetime is an example.  Using the standard 
layout pattern results in the same datetime in each header and footer, while 
using DynamicPatternLayout results in timestamp of the header/footer creation.

Example
<layout type="log4net.Layout.DynamicPatternLayout">
  <param name="Header" value="%newline**** Trace Opened     Local: 
%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff}     UTC: %utcdate{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} 
****%newline"/>
  <param name="Footer" value="**** Trace Closed %date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} 
****%newline"/>
</layout>
