System.Object
���log4net.ThreadContext
This type is safe for multithreaded operations.
The ThreadContext
provides a location for thread specific debugging information to be stored. The ThreadContext
properties override any GlobalContext properties with the same name.
The thread context has a properties map and a stack. The properties and stack can be included in the output of log messages. The PatternLayout supports selecting and outputting these properties.
The Thread Context provides a diagnostic context for the current thread. This is an instrument for distinguishing interleaved log output from different sources. Log output is typically interleaved when a server handles multiple clients near-simultaneously.
The Thread Context is managed on a per thread basis.
Example of using the thread context properties to store a username.
[C#]
ThreadContext.Properties["user"] = userName;
log.Info("This log message has a ThreadContext Property called 'user'");
Example of how to push a message into the context stack [C#]
using(ThreadContext.Stacks["NDC"].Push("my context message"))
{
log.Info("This log message has a ThreadContext Stack message that includes 'my context message'");
} // at the end of the using block the message is automatically popped
