log4net appender to mysql in c# application

Question

I am building a small c# web application (written in mvc). I need to log basic info to a database. I've researched and found log4net to be quite extensive and popular.

I'm using mysql as my underline database. I found a few samples of how to log using log4net into mysql database, but non seem to work, and they all seem quite outdated.

Does anyone have a code sample for this?

Thank you very much.

It seems to me that you can achieve this logging through the AdoNetAppender . It looks like you can configure the connection type (mysql, oracle, sqlserver etc).

The connection type (provider) can be specified by setting the connectionType property The above was taken from:
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.html

I'll try to follow up with an example config for this but I think they do a fair job of explaining how to do this with a sql server database and it seems like you would just need to change the connectionString and connectionType properties.
