How to log MethodName when wrapping Log4net?

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

loggingEvent.LocationInformation.MethodName
loggingEvent.LocationInformation.ClassName

However all I get is the name of my wrapper.

How can I log that info using a forwardingappender and a static wrapper class like

Logger.Debug("Logging to Debug");
Logger.Info("Logging to Info");
Logger.Warn("Logging to Warn");
Logger.Error(ex);
Logger.Fatal(ex);

Solution 1:

What about the %M and %C variables? http://logging.apache.org/log4net/log4net-1.2.11/release/sdk/log4net.Layout.PatternLayout.html

Usage, something like:

<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
  <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%M %C] - %message%newline" />
</layout>

Doesn't that do what you are after?

Solution 2:

Well the error was somewhere in my appender but for completeness ill include the answer to the best of my knowledge:

the Facade you need should wrap ILogger and NOT ILog

 public static class Logger
 {
    private readonly static Type ThisDeclaringType = typeof(Logger);
    private static readonly ILogger defaultLogger;

    static Logger()
    {
      defaultLogger =
        LoggerManager.GetLogger(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly(),"MyDefaultLoggger");

...

    public static void Info(string message)
    {
        if (defaultLogger.IsEnabledFor(infoLevel))
        {
            defaultLogger.Log(typeof(Logger), infoLevel, message, null);
        }
    }

Solution 3:

I would simply use something like %stacktrace{2} as a conversion pattern.

Example of output:

MyNamespace.ClassName.Method > Common.Log.Warning

where MyNamespace.ClassName.Method is a method that is calling my wrapper and Common.Log.Warning is a method of the wrapper class.
