Syntax
The FileAppenderMinimalLock type exposes the following members.
Constructors
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| FileAppenderMinimalLock | Initializes a new instance of the FileAppenderMinimalLock class  | 
Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CurrentAppender | 
            Gets or sets the FileAppender for this LockingModel
              (Inherited from FileAppenderLockingModelBase.) | 
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AcquireLock | 
            Acquire the lock on the file
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseAcquireLock.) | |
| ActivateOptions | 
            Initializes all resources used by this locking model.
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseActivateOptions.) | |
| CloseFile | 
            Close the file
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseCloseFile.) | |
| CloseStream | 
            Helper method to close stream under CurrentAppender's SecurityContext.
              (Inherited from FileAppenderLockingModelBase.) | |
| CreateStream | 
            Helper method that creates a FileStream under CurrentAppender's SecurityContext.
              (Inherited from FileAppenderLockingModelBase.) | |
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) | |
| Finalize | 
                    Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
                  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| GetHashCode | 
                    Serves as a hash function for a particular type. 
                  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| GetType | 
                    Gets the Type of the current instance.
                  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| MemberwiseClone | 
                    Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
                  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| OnClose | 
            Disposes all resources that were initialized by this locking model.
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseOnClose.) | |
| OpenFile | 
            Prepares to open the file when the first message is logged.
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseOpenFile(String, Boolean, Encoding).) | |
| ReleaseLock | 
            Release the lock on the file
              (Overrides FileAppenderLockingModelBaseReleaseLock.) | |
| ToString | (Inherited from Object.) | 
Remarks
Opens the file once for each AcquireLock/ReleaseLock cycle, thus holding the lock for the minimal amount of time. This method of locking is considerably slower than FileAppenderExclusiveLock but allows other processes to move/delete the log file whilst logging continues.
