How to log MethodName when wrapping Log4net?

Question

I have wrapped Log4net in a static wrapper and want to log

loggingEvent.LocationInformation.MethodName
loggingEvent.LocationInformation.ClassName
         


        

Answer 1

I will just write more code of the correct answer of Claus

In the wrapper class

public static class Logger
{
   private static readonly ILogger DefaultLogger;

   static Logger()
   {
      defaultLogger = LoggerManager.GetLogger(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly(), "MyDefaultLoggger"); // MyDefaultLoggger is the name of Logger
   }

  public static void LogError(object message)
  {
      Level errorLevel = Level.Error;
      if (DefaultLogger.IsEnabledFor(errorLevel))
      {
          DefaultLogger.Log(typeof(Logger), errorLevel, message, null);
      }
  }

  public static void LogError(object message, Exception exception)
  {
      Level errorLevel = Level.Error;
      if (DefaultLogger.IsEnabledFor(errorLevel))
      {
          DefaultLogger.Log(typeof(Logger), errorLevel, message, exception);
      }
  }

and so on for the rest of methods.

in web.config or app.config log4net.Layout.PatternLayout you can use some Conversion Patterns like:

%location %method %line
