Dump an object using log4net

1. add to the first line of the log4net config section

   <renderer renderingClass="ObjectPrinter.Log4Net.Log4NetObjectRenderer, ObjectPrinter.Log4Net.v1212" renderedClass="System.Object" />

2. register Log4NetTypeInspector

   Config.Inspectors.Registration = new TypeInspectorRegistration().RegisterInspector(new Log4NetTypeInspector()).GetRegisteredInspectors();

3. Log.Error(ex);

Capturing more context in an exception
