AppenderSkeleton.RequiresLayout Property

Tests if this appender requires a Layout to be set.

[Visual�Basic]
Overridable�Protected�ReadOnly�Property�RequiresLayout�As�Boolean
[C#]
protected�virtual�bool�RequiresLayout�{get;}

Remarks

In the rather exceptional case, where the appender implementation admits a layout but can also work without it, then the appender should return true.

This default implementation always returns false.
