How i can use the connectionString of the current website for log4Net instead of configuring

I use log4Net for my system's log. The connectionString node is mandatory if the appender type is the AdoNetAppender in Log4Net. However, I already have a connectionString in my website where I use Log4Net.

How can I use the connStr of the website for log4Net instead of configuring the same connstr again in the log4net config file?

c# log4net connection-string

You could do this by writing a custom ADO.NET appender and overriding the connection string:

public new string ConnectionString {
    get { 
        return base.ConnectionString; 
    }

    //you could set your own connection string here
    set { 
        base.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings ["Sql"].
            ConnectionString; 
    }
}
