Use it in a windows service console application

[gitzko]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to replace
ILog Logger = LogManager.GetLogger("Main");

with

ILoggerFactory loggerFactory = new LoggerFactory(
                            new[] { new Log4NetProvider((_, __) => true, true) }
                        );
            
            ILogger logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();

...but fail to provide the correct arguments.

Can anyone give a clue?

Hello @gitzko,

Thanks by your question.

Are you using in any way the IServiceCollection extensions in your console application initialization?

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddLogging(config => config.AddLog4Net());
var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

var logger = provider.GetRequiredService<ILogger<Program>>();

logger.LogInformation("Hello, World!");

If not, maybe you don't need to replace the initial call at all (or this adapter library), because Log4Net library still allows you to do it in that way (just add reference to Log4Net instead to Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Log4Net.AspNetCore).

The objective of Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Log4Net.AspNetCore library is to wire up the Log4Net logging with the Microsoft Logging framework, but if you are not going to use it... you know. :)
