Description

Users wanting to configure log4net in code using more than just a single appender must cast the repository into a Hierarchy then manually add elements:

Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy hierarchy =
(Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy)LogManager.GetRepository();
hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(alpha);
hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(beta);
hierarchy.Configured = true;

The BasicConfigurator should make it easier to accomplish this:

BasicConfigurator.Configure(alpha, beta);

This can be accomplished by adding an overload to Configure that accepts an params IAppender[]:

IBasicRepositoryConfigurator.Configure(params IAppender[] appenders)
