Creating a different log4net.ILog instance for each appender

Question

I'm using log4net to log a project. I want to log into 3 different files : requests, responses, and errors. ```

Accepted Answer

To use the names you want you can make 3 loggers:

```
 private static readonly log4net.ILog logError = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ErrorAppender");
 private static readonly log4net.ILog logResponse = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("ResponseAppender");
 private static readonly log4net.ILog logRequest = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("RequestAppender");
```

When logging a log message you have to use the correct logger. Your appenders are configured to handle each logger in a seperate file.

The problem with your current code is the:

```
System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType
```

Because you use static logger the loggers names can probably not formed correctly. There is no `System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod()` because when the static initalize is called there is not `GetCurrentMethod`. You can change that to `typeof(..).Name`. However you appenders need to be reconfigured to log your classnames.
