log4net

Overview

log4net is an open source framework to help software developers to output log statements from their code to a variety of output targets without adding substantial performance overheads. log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar to the original log4j while taking advantage of new features available in the .NET runtime.

log4net is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Logging Services project. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilised in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

log4net is part of the Apache Logging Services project. The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language logging services for purposes of application debugging and auditing.

log4net is implemented in C# (C sharp) and has been developed to run on any ECMA standard Common Language Infrastructure, including the Microsoft .NET Framework and the open source Mono project. The log4net binary assembly can be used directly from any CLI compatible language, including managed C++, C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, and many more.
