log4net array of elements in configuration appender

Question

How can I write something like this:

<appender name="MyAppender" type="MyNamespace.MyAppender, MyDll">
    <url value="http://example1.com" />
    <url value="http://example2.com" />
    <url value="http://example3.com" />
</appender>

in log4net Appender configuration file, and have it deserialized to my custom property in my class:

public class MyAppender : BulkAppender
{
    public string[] Url { get; set; }
}

I don't have any problems with single string, but whatever I do, I cannot deserialize an array.

Answer 1

Not most elegant solution, but you can use list instead of array:

public class MyAppender : BulkAppender
{
    public List<string> Url { get; set; }
}

And then use something like this in your app.config:

<url>
  <add value="http://example1.com" />
  <add value="http://example2.com" />
  <add value="http://example3.com" />
</url>
