Temporarily Disable logging for log4net

Question

How can I temporarily disable logging of log4net based on the result of my function? example:

if (MyCondition)
{
//Stop logging
}
else
{
//go on, log me...
}

i tried using these codes:

 LogManager.GetRepository().Threshold = LogManager.GetRepository().LevelMap["OFF"];
 LogManager.GetRepository().Threshold = LogManager.GetRepository().LevelMap["ALL"];

to try to disable log4net logging, but the results are the same. log4net is still logging.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

It might be easier to set the logging to "OFF" for all loggers at runtime, then switch them back on afterwards.
