Description

I am using the Event Log appender and need to be able to dynamically set the event properties for each message.
Currently I am using the following:
Event Viewer Property How I set it up
Date appender "conversionPattern" node value as %d (w/ "layout" node type = "log4net.Layout.PatternLayout")
Source appender "applicationName" node value * Would be nice if this could be set dynamically too...
Type set based on type of log
Computer picked up automatically
Event ID Needed 2 things: 1. appender "conversionPattern" node value as%property

{EventID}

2. Set thread context property before call to write log, example: log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["EventID"] = 9999;
Category * HELP!
User * HELP!

• These are the ones I cannot find a way to set, I have scoured the internet for examples, I would be thrilled (THRILLED) if these values could be set like the EventID is set.
