Syntax

public void RenderObject(
	RendererMap rendererMap,
	Object obj,
	TextWriter writer
)

Public Sub RenderObject ( 
	rendererMap As RendererMap,
	obj As Object,
	writer As TextWriter
)

public:
virtual void RenderObject(
	RendererMap^ rendererMap, 
	Object^ obj, 
	TextWriter^ writer
) sealed

abstract RenderObject : 
        rendererMap : RendererMap * 
        obj : Object * 
        writer : TextWriter -> unit 
override RenderObject : 
        rendererMap : RendererMap * 
        obj : Object * 
        writer : TextWriter -> unit

Parameters

rendererMap: Type: log4net.ObjectRenderer.RendererMap
The map used to lookup renderers
obj: Type: System.Object
The object to render
writer: Type: System.IO.TextWriter
The writer to render to

Implements

IObjectRenderer.RenderObject(RendererMap, Object, TextWriter)

Remarks

Render the object obj to a string.

The rendererMap parameter is provided to lookup and render other objects. This is very useful where obj contains nested objects of unknown type. The FindAndRender(object) method can be used to render these objects.

The default renderer supports rendering objects to strings as follows:

Value	Rendered String
null	"(null)"
Array	For a one dimensional array this is the array type name, an open brace, followed by a comma separated list of the elements (using the appropriate renderer), followed by a close brace. For example: int[] {1, 2, 3}. If the array is not one dimensional the Array.ToString() is returned.
IEnumerable, ICollection & IEnumerator	Rendered as an open brace, followed by a comma separated list of the elements (using the appropriate renderer), followed by a close brace. For example: {a, b, c}. All collection classes that implement ICollection its subclasses, or generic equivalents all implement the IEnumerable interface.
DictionaryEntry	Rendered as the key, an equals sign ('='), and the value (using the appropriate renderer). For example: key=value.
other	Object.ToString()
