    <p>Situation: I want to show the method and line number for the code that logs a message. The problem is that I have an intermediate class which calls into the log4net logger. Unfortunately, due to existing architectural issues, I can't do away with this intermediate class. The result is that I always see the method and line number as being in the intermediate class. Not what I want.</p> <p>So I tried to create a custom PatternLayoutConverter, as per this question:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1906227/does-log4net-support-including-the-call-stack-in-a-log-message">Does log4net support including the call stack in a log message</a></p> <p>I am also programmatically configuring log4net since, again for architectural reasons, using an XML config file is not feasible (I also find it ridiculous that the preferred and only documented way of configuring log4net is through a stupid XML file, but that's a topic for another discussion). So I followed this thread.</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/769983/how-to-configure-log4net-programmatically-from-scratch-no-config">How to configure log4net programmatically from scratch (no config)</a></p> <p>Everything works fine except that my custom converter is never called. Here is the code for the custom converter:</p> <pre><code>public class TVPatternLayout : PatternLayout { public TVPatternLayout() { this.AddConverter("logsite", typeof(TVPatternLayoutConverter)); } } public class TVPatternLayoutConverter : PatternLayoutConverter { protected override void Convert(TextWriter writer, LoggingEvent loggingEvent) { StackTrace st = new StackTrace(); int idx = 1; while(st.GetFrame(idx).GetMethod().DeclaringType.Assembly == typeof(LogManager).Assembly) idx++; writer.Write(String.Format("{0}.{1} (line {2})", st.GetFrame(idx).GetMethod().DeclaringType.Name, st.GetFrame(idx).GetMethod().Name, st.GetFrame(idx).GetFileLineNumber())); } } </code></pre> <p>And here is the code where I configure the logger:</p> <pre><code>Hierarchy hierarchy = (Hierarchy)LogManager.GetRepository(); hierarchy.Configured = false; RollingFileAppender appender = new RollingFileAppender(); appender.Name = loggerName; appender.File = realPath; appender.AppendToFile = true; appender.MaximumFileSize = "8000"; appender.MaxSizeRollBackups = 2; TVPatternLayout patternLayout = new TVPatternLayout(); patternLayout.ConversionPattern = logFormat; // includes %logsite, my custom option appender.Layout = patternLayout; appender.ActivateOptions(); hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(appender); hierarchy.Root.Level = Level.All; hierarchy.Configured = true; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
