Is there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.
