When using wrapper, how to preserve class and method name for Log4Net to log?

Question

I need a Log4net wrapper - to be exposed to a number of different components in a large app. I obviously want to retain the class and method name when logging but I would ke

Create your wrapper class like this...

public static class LogFourNet
    {
        // Define a static logger variable so that it references the
        private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(LogFourNet));

        static LogFourNet()
        {
            XmlConfigurator.Configure(
                   new FileInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "log4net.config"));
            Log.Info("Log4net is configured.");
        }

        public static void Info(object currentObj, string msg, [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0,
            [CallerFilePath] string caller = "", [CallerMemberName] string memberName = "")
        {
            Log.Info("[" + currentObj.GetType().Namespace + "." +
                     Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(caller) + "." + memberName + ":" + lineNumber + "] - " + msg);
        }

        public static void Debug(object currentObj, string msg, [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0,
            [CallerFilePath] string caller = "", [CallerMemberName] string memberName = "")
        {
            Log.Debug("[" + currentObj.GetType().Namespace + "." +
                      Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(caller) + "." + memberName + ":" + lineNumber + "] - " + msg);
        }

        public static void Error(object currentObj, string msg, [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0,
            [CallerFilePath] string caller = "", [CallerMemberName] string memberName = "")
        {
            Log.Error("[" + currentObj.GetType().Namespace + "." +
                      Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(caller) + "." + memberName + ":" + lineNumber + "] - " + msg);
        }
    }

Configure your log4net.config file in the following manner...

Now just use above these methods like this...

// need to pass this(current obj) as we want to log full class name
LogFourNet.Debug(this, "started something from wrapper");

output:
