Hey all. This is my first StackOverflow question. I'm 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 file. Is is possible to do something like this? <connectionStrings> <add name="connStr" connectionString="Data Source=localhost; ..." /> </connectionStrings> <log4net> <appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender"> <connectionString connectionStringName="connStr"/> ... </log4net> Thanks!
