File (inherited from FileAppender) Gets or sets the path to the file that logging will be written to.
FilterHead (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) The filter chain.
ImmediateFlush (inherited from TextWriterAppender) Gets or set whether the appender will flush at the end of each append operation.
Layout (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Gets or sets the ILayout for this appender.
LockingModel (inherited from FileAppender) Gets or sets the LockingModel used to handle locking of the file.
MaxFileSize Gets or sets the maximum size that the output file is allowed to reach before being rolled over to backup files.
MaximumFileSize Gets or sets the maximum size that the output file is allowed to reach before being rolled over to backup files.
MaxSizeRollBackups Gets or sets the maximum number of backup files that are kept before the oldest is erased.
Name (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Gets or sets the name of this appender.
PreserveLogFileNameExtension Gets or sets a value indicating whether to preserve the file name extension when rolling.
RollingStyle Gets or sets the rolling style.
SecurityContext (inherited from FileAppender) Gets or sets the SecurityContext used to write to the file.
StaticLogFileName Gets or sets a value indicating whether to always log to the same file.
Threshold (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Gets or sets the threshold Level of this appender.
Writer (inherited from TextWriterAppender) Sets the TextWriter where the log output will go.

Public Instance Methods

ActivateOptions Initialize the appender based on the options set
AddFilter (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Adds a filter to the end of the filter chain.
ClearFilters (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Clears the filter list for this appender.
Close (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Closes the appender and release resources.
DoAppend (inherited from AppenderSkeleton)Overloaded. Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific Append method.
Equals (inherited from Object)
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)
GetType (inherited from Object)
ToString (inherited from Object)

Protected Instance Properties

QuietWriter (inherited from TextWriterAppender) Gets or sets the QuietTextWriter where logging events will be written to.
RequiresLayout (inherited from TextWriterAppender) This appender requires a log4net.Layout to be set.

Protected Instance Methods

AdjustFileBeforeAppend Performs any required rolling before outputting the next event
AppendOverloaded. Write out a logging event.
CloseFile (inherited from FileAppender) Closes the previously opened file.
CloseWriter (inherited from FileAppender) Closes the underlying TextWriter.
DeleteFile Deletes the specified file if it exists.
ExistingInit Initializes based on existing conditions at time of ActivateOptions.
FileExists Test if a file exists at a specified path
FilterEvent (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Test if the logging event should we output by this appender
Finalize (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Finalizes this appender by calling the implementation's Close method.
GetNextOutputFileName Get the current output file name
IsAsSevereAsThreshold (inherited from AppenderSkeleton) Checks if the message level is below this appender's threshold.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)
NextCheckDate Get the start time of the next window for the current rollpoint
OnClose (inherited from TextWriterAppender) Close this appender instance. The underlying stream or writer is also closed.
OpenFile Creates and opens the file for logging. If StaticLogFileName is false then the fully qualified name is determined and used.
PreAppendCheck (inherited from TextWriterAppender) This method determines if there is a sense in attempting to append.
PrepareWriter (inherited from FileAppender) Called to initialize the file writer
RenderLoggingEvent (inherited from AppenderSkeleton)Overloaded. Renders the LoggingEvent to a string.
Reset (inherited from FileAppender) Closes any previously opened file and calls the parent's Reset.
RollFile Renames file fromFile to file toFile.
RollOverRenameFiles Implements file roll.
RollOverSize Implements file roll base on file size.
RollOverTime Rollover the file(s) to date/time tagged file(s).
SafeOpenFile (inherited from FileAppender) Sets and opens the file where the log output will go. The specified file must be writable.
SetQWForFilesOverloaded. Sets the quiet writer being used.
SetQWForFiles (inherited from FileAppender)Overloaded. Sets the quiet writer used for file output
WriteFooter (inherited from FileAppender) Writes a footer as produced by the embedded layout's Footer property.
WriteFooterAndCloseWriter (inherited from TextWriterAppender) Writes the footer and closes the underlying TextWriter.
WriteHeader (inherited from FileAppender) Writes a header produced by the embedded layout's Header property.
