The NetSendAppender type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	NetSendAppender	Initializes the appender.

	Name	Description
	ErrorHandler	Gets or sets the IErrorHandler for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	FilterHead	The filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Layout	Gets or sets the ILayout for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Recipient	Gets or sets the message alias to which the message should be sent.
	RequiresLayout	This appender requires a log4net.Layout to be set. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonRequiresLayout.)
	SecurityContext	Gets or sets the SecurityContext used to call the NetSend method.
	Sender	Gets or sets the sender of the message.
	Server	Gets or sets the DNS or NetBIOS name of the remote server on which the function is to execute.
	Threshold	Gets or sets the threshold Level of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)

	Name	Description
	ActivateOptions	Initialize the appender based on the options set. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonActivateOptions.)
	AddFilter	Adds a filter to the end of the filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	Append a bulk array of logging events. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	This method is called by the DoAppend(LoggingEvent) method. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonAppend(LoggingEvent).)
	ClearFilters	Clears the filter list for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Close	Closes the appender and release resources. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent[])] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FilterEvent	Test if the logging event should we output by this appender (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Finalize	Finalizes this appender by calling the implementation's Close method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Flush	Flushes any buffered log data. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsAsSevereAsThreshold	Checks if the message level is below this appender's threshold. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	NetMessageBufferSend	Sends a buffer of information to a registered message alias.
	OnClose	Is called when the appender is closed. Derived classes should override this method if resources need to be released. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	PreAppendCheck	Called before [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] as a precondition. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(TextWriter, LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

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 :

Note : security restrictions apply for sending network messages, see NetMessageBufferSend(String, String, String, String, Int32) for more information.

An example configuration section to log information using this appender from the local machine, named LOCAL_PC, to machine OPERATOR_PC :

<appender name="NetSendAppender_Operator" type="log4net.Appender.NetSendAppender"><server value="LOCAL_PC" /><recipient value="OPERATOR_PC" /><layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" value="%-5p %c [%x] - %m%n" /></appender>
