Description

The deployment with NuGet for Visual Studio could installs also a snippet which could be used to declare a private static reference to logger "log4net.ILog". So, after installed the log4net via NuGet, we could just go to any class and type log<TAB> and a full and auto declaration appears referencing the enclosure type.

Following is a snippet I use today with C#, but needs to be installed apart on each Visual Studio installation. The main piece of the snippet is the declaration: private static readonly log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof($classname$));
