title: Can you pull the connectionString for a log4net AdoNetAppender from elsewhere in a web.config file?
body: <p>I already have a db connection string in my web.config file. I scanned the log4net docs, but can't seem to find a way to use it within the log4net section of my web.config file. Is is possible to do something like this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt;
      &lt;add name="connStr" connectionString="Data Source=localhost; ..." /&gt;
  &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  
  &lt;log4net&gt;
      &lt;appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender"&gt;
      &lt;connectionString connectionStringName="connStr"/&gt;
        ...
  &lt;/log4net&gt;
  </code></pre>
