OutputDebugStringAppender

The OutputDebugStringAppender writes log events to the Windows debugger via the OutputDebugString function. This is useful for debugging and monitoring an application without writing to files or consoles.

The following example shows how to configure the OutputDebugStringAppender to write logging messages to the OutputDebugString API.

<appender name="OutputDebugStringAppender" type="log4net.Appender.OutputDebugStringAppender" >
  <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
  </layout>
</appender>
