I have a console application in Visual studio. i have log4net stuff with smtp appender in my app.config file. I have set environment
variable in my code (i.e. my email address) and trying to reference this environment
variable to send email. However log4net doesn'
t seem to read this value when the application is run.
My log4net:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
<log4net>
<appender name="smtp" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
<param name="to" value="${EmailAddress}" />
<param name="from" value="
[email protected]" />
<param name="subject" value="testing app" />
<param name="smtpHost" value="<smtp host name>" />
<param name="bufferSize" value="1" />
<param name="lossy" value="false" />
<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d{ISO8601} [%t] [%-5p] %c - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<!-- Setup the root category, add the appenders and set the default priority -->
<root>
<priority value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="smtp" />
</root>
</log4net>
</Configuration>
In my console app, i have set environment
variable something like this:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("EmailAddress", "
[email protected]", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
Does anyone know how can i make it work?
Thanks.
