Question

I have an Enterprise Library configuration XML serialised and loaded into a String object.

Is there any way to initialise an Enterprise Library logging component with that string?

I am looking for something like this:

IConfigurationSource configSource = new SomethingConfigurationSource(stringWhichHasConfig);
LogWriterFactory logFactory = new LogWriterFactory(configSource);
LogWriter writer = logFactory.Create();

Is there any way to actually do this?

Answer 1

My workaround was to write the configuration into a temporary file, and load that configuration as follows:

string loggingConfigSetting = GetSetting("LoggingConfiguration");

string tempConfigPath = Path.GetTempFileName();
File.AppendAllText(tempConfigPath, loggingConfigSetting);

FileConfigurationSource configSource = new FileConfigurationSource(tempConfigPath);
LogWriterFactory logFactory = new LogWriterFactory(configSource);
writer = logFactory.Create();
