Some helper methods for Log4Net on the .Net Standard platform.

Now it is possible to set the connectionstring directly at runtime, instead of ConnectionStringName and/or ConnectinStringFile.

Simply call:

AdoNetAppenderHelper.SetConnectionString(configuration.GetConnectionString("log4net"));

Do this call immediately after log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure()

Enable (and disable) internal debugging of Log4Net.

InternalDebugHelper.EnableInternalDebug((source, args) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(args.LogLog);
});

List all configuration messages

foreach (var log in ConfigurationHelper.ListConfigurationMessages())
{
    Console.WriteLine(log);
}
