<a name="main"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="main">Apache log4net&#x2122; Examples</h2>
<a name="overview"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
<p>
<b>The following examples are only available in the log4net source download, not
on-line. To obtain the examples <a href="../download.html">download</a> the log4net source release.
</b>
</p>
</div>
<a name="building"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="building">Building Examples</h2>
<a name="building-1"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="building-1">Building An Example</h2>
<p>
A single example can be build by running <span class="code">nant</span> from
the example directory.
</p>
<p>
For example running <span class="code">nant</span> in the
<span class="code">examples\net\1.0\Tutorials\ConsoleApp\cs</span> directory
will build the C# version of the Microsoft&#xae; .NET 1.0 ConsoleApp example.
</p>
<p>
<span class="code">nant</span> can be run in any directory containing a
<span class="code">nant.build</span> file. The typical behavior of the build file
is to build all projects under the current directory.
</p>
<p>
For example running <span class="code">nant</span> in the
<span class="code">examples\net\1.1</span> directory
will build all the examples for the .NET 1.1 platform.
</p>
</div>
<a name="building-all"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="building-all">Building All Examples</h2>
<p>
To build all the examples either run <span class="code">nant</span> in the
<span class="code">examples</span> directory or you can specify the
<span class="code">compile-examples</span> target to the main log4net nant build.
</p>
</div>
<a name="building-vsnet"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="building-vsnet">Visual Studio .NET</h2>
<p>
There are Visual Studio .NET 2002 project files for the .NET 1.0 framework.
The solution files for C# and VB are in the examples\net\1.0
folder.
</p>
<p>
For the Managed C++ project there is a Visual Studio .NET 2003 project file
in the examples\net\1.1 folder.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<a name="examples"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<a name="consoleapp"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="consoleapp">Tutorial - ConsoleApp</h2>
<p>
ConsoleApp shows how to write a simple console application that initializes
logging and logs various events.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>MONO 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#,
VB
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.1</b>:
C++,
JScript.NET
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET Compact Framework 1.0</b>:
C#,
VB
</li>
<li>
<b>SSCLI 1.0</b>:
JScript.NET
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To run this example execute <span class="code">ConsoleApp.exe</span> from the build output directory.
</p>
</div>
<a name="webapp"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="webapp">Tutorial - WebApp</h2>
<p>
ConsoleApp shows how to write a simple ASP.NET web application that initializes
logging and logs various events.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#,
VB
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To run this example you need to have an ASP.NET container application to
host the web application, for example IIS. In IIS create a new virtual
directory pointing to the WebApp src directory. Configure IIS to recognize
this virtual directory as an application. Open up a web browser, navigate to
the virtual directory and to the <span class="code">WebForm1.aspx</span> page within it.
</p>
</div>
<a name="remotingclient"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="remotingclient">Remoting - RemotingClient</h2>
<p>
The RemotingClient application is a simple console application that configures
log4net with the RemotingAppender. This appender will attempt to deliver the
logging events to a remoting listener. This example should be run in conjunction
with the RemotingServer.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To run this example execute <span class="code">RemotingClient.exe</span> from the build output directory.
</p>
</div>
<a name="remotingserver"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="remotingserver">Remoting - RemotingServer</h2>
<p>
The RemotingServer application is a simple console application that listens for
logging events from a remote RemotingAppender and then logs them through the
local log4net instance. This example should be run in conjunction
with the RemotingClient.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To run this example execute <span class="code">RemotingServer.exe</span> from the build output directory.
While this process is running execute the <span class="code">RemotingClient.exe</span> program on
the same machine. The logging events from the client are transferred to the server.
</p>
</div>
<a name="rep-simple"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="rep-simple">Repository - SimpleModule</h2>
<p>
The SimpleModule is a class library that is intended to be used as part of
the SimpleApp example,
This class library uses the <span class="code">log4net.Config.Repository</span>
attribute to create a separate configuration space from other assemblies.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>MONO 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#,
VB
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.1</b>:
JScript.NET
</li>
<li>
<b>SSCLI 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This library is intended to be used as part of the SimpleApp example.
</p>
</div>
<a name="rep-shared"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="rep-shared">Repository - SharedModule</h2>
<p>
The SharedModule is a class library that is intended to be used as part of
the SimpleApp example,
This class library uses log4net but does not attempt to configure logging.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>MONO 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.0</b>:
C#,
VB
</li>
<li>
<b>.NET 1.1</b>:
JScript.NET
</li>
<li>
<b>SSCLI 1.0</b>:
C#
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This library is intended to be used as part of the SimpleApp example.
</p>
</div>
<a name="rep-app"></a><div class="section"><h2 id="rep-app">Repository - SimpleApp</h2>
<p>
The SimpleApp example uses the SimpleModule and SharedModule to demonstrate
the ways in which multiple assemblies within the same process may be
separately configured.
</p>
<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
nearest platform for the appropriate language.

<p>
This example is available for the following platforms and languages. If a version
is not available for your chosen platform and language combination then select the
