Shows how to create a Log4NetLogger using the ServiceStack logging interfaces

AnyFile.cs

public class ExampleController
{
  public ILog Logger {get; set;}
  
  public void AnyMethod(int param1, int param2)
  {
    Logger.DebugFormat("Parameters are {0}, and {1}", param1, param2);
  }
}

AppHost.cs

public override void Configure(Container container)
{
  container.Register(x => new Log4NetFactory(true));
  LogManager.LogFactory = container.Resolve<Log4NetFactory>();
  container.Register<ILog>(x => LogManager.GetLogger(GetType()));
}

AppStart.cs

log4net.config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

//if not using servicestack, comment out this line
(new AppHost()).Init();

//if no apphost uncomment these
//LogManager.LogFactory = new Log4NetFactory(true);
//LogManager.GetLogger("").Info("Logging enabled");
