[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Shared Function GetLogger( _
ByVal repositoryAssembly As Assembly, _

) As ILog
[C#]

Assembly repositoryAssembly,
string name
);

#### Parameters

repositoryAssembly
  The assembly to use to lookup the repository.
name
  The name of the logger to retrieve.

#### Return Value

The logger with the name specified.

#### Remarks

Retrieve a logger named as the name parameter. If the named logger already exists, then the existing instance will be returned. Otherwise, a new instance is created.

By default, loggers do not have a set level but inherit it from the hierarchy. This is one of the central features of log4net.
