Description

It would be really easy and nice, to hace the AssemblyLocationPatternConverter that would allow to retrieve the assembly of the Caller.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using log4net.Core;
namespace log4net.Layout.Pattern
{ internal sealed class AssemblyLocationPatternConverter : PatternLayoutConverter
{ override protected void Convert(TextWriter writer, LoggingEvent loggingEvent)

{ writer.Write(loggingEvent.LocationInformation.AssemblyName); }

}
}

It just would need the retrieval of the Assembly Name in the LocationInfo (new property AssemblyName and the retrieval in the constructor)
...Retrieval....
m_assembly = method.Module.Assembly.FullName;
...

After this... it just would be needed to register the new pattern so that it would be recognized. (Added in the static constructor of PatternLayout)
....
s_globalRulesRegistry.Add("assembly", typeof(AssemblyLocationPatternConverter));
....

With a conversion pattern like the following
<conversionPattern value="%assembly"/>
We could get the following log:
WindowsFormsApplication3, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
