Log4Net on .Net Standard has no version for getting logger without repository

Question

I am trying to move a project to .net standard and it basically is a class library. I am using log4net for logging and I was using the method

public static          


        

Answer 1

The implementation of GetLogger is simple:

public static ILog GetLogger(string name)
{
    return GetLogger(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly(), name);
}

Assuming you want to use your class library's assembly, you can write your own helper method for that easily:

private static ILog GetLogger(string name) =>
    LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(SomeTypeInYourLibrary).Assembly, name);

It's basically hard-coding the assembly to be "the assembly containing the type you've specified" which is what you'd always get from calling GetLogger(string) from your library anyway.
