No I haven't - and to be fair, I did try doing this a while ago:
<code file='global.asax' method='Application_Start'>
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
//reset the logger to use the default con string - so we
only need to change it on one place
var hier =
log4net.LogManager.GetRepository() as
log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy;
if (hier != null)
{
//get ADONetAppender
var adoAppender =
(log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender)hier.GetLogger("root",hier.LoggerFactory).GetAppender("AdoNetAppender");
var adoAppender =
(log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender)hier.Root.Appenders[0];
if (adoAppender != null)
{
adoAppender.ConnectionString =
AppSettings.GetConfigurationString("MainConnection");
adoAppender.ActivateOptions(); //refresh settings
of appender
}
}
</code>
and failed - but this is possibly because of a few things outside the
responsibility of the log4net codebase.
There's nothing wrong working through a poroblem - to help improve the
situ - but just rubbishing it won't help anyone.
