<h4 class="dtH4">Remarks</h4>
<p> This method is called by an appender to format the <i>loggingEvent</i> as text and output to a writer. </p>
<p> If the caller does not have a <a href="ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpref/html/frlrfSystemIOTextWriterClassTopic.htm">TextWriter</a> and prefers the event to be formatted as a <a href="ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpref/html/frlrfSystemStringClassTopic.htm">String</a> then the following code can be used to format the event into a <a href="ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpref/html/frlrfSystemIOStringWriterClassTopic.htm">StringWriter</a>. </p>
<pre class="code"><span class="lang">[C#]

Layout.Format(writer, loggingEvent);
string formattedEvent = writer.ToString();
