System Objectlog4net.Appender AppenderSkeleton
log4net.Appender NetSendAppender
Namespace: log4net.Appender
Assembly: log4net (in log4net.dll) Version: 1.2.15.0 (1.2.15.0)
You can send messages only to names that are active on the network. If you send the message to a user name, that user must be logged on and running the Messenger service to receive the message.
The receiver will get a top most window displaying the messages one at a time, therefore this appender should not be used to deliver a high volume of messages.
The following table lists some possible uses for this appender :
| Action | Property Value(s) |
|---|---|
| Send a message to a user account on the local machine | Server = <name of the local machine>
Recipient = <user name> |
| Send a message to a user account on a remote machine | Server = <name of the remote machine>
