Can you pull the connectionString for a log4net AdoNetAppender from elsewhere in a web.config file?

Question

I already have a db connection string in my web.config file. I scanned the log4net docs, but can\'t seem to find a way to use it within the log4net section of my web.config

Answer 1

the answers above all do not work. i got another solution for this, i tried and it worked:

private static void ConfigureLog4Net()
{
    Hierarchy hierarchy = LogManager.GetRepository() as Hierarchy;
    if(hierarchy != null && hierarchy.Configured)
    {
        foreach(IAppender appender in hierarchy.GetAppenders())
        {
           if(appender is AdoNetAppender)
           {
               var adoNetAppender = (AdoNetAppender)appender;
               adoNetAppender.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["YOURCONNECTIONSTRINGKEY"].ToString();
               adoNetAppender.ActivateOptions(); //Refresh AdoNetAppenders Settings
           }
        }
    }
}

How i can use the connectionString of the current website for log4Net instead of configuring
