	/// <summary>
	/// A flexible layout configurable with pattern string that re-evaluates on each call.
	/// </summary>
	/// <remarks>
	/// <para>This class is built on <see cref="PatternLayout"></see> and provides all the
	/// features and capabilities of PatternLayout.  PatternLayout is a 'static' class
	/// in that its layout is done once at configuration time.  This class will recreate
	/// the layout on each reference.</para>
	/// <para>One important difference between PatternLayout and DynamicPatternLayout is the
	/// treatment of the Header and Footer parameters in the configuration.  The Header and Footer
	/// parameters for DynamicPatternLayout must be syntactically in the form of a PatternString,
	/// but should not be marked as type log4net.Util.PatternString.  Doing so causes the
	/// pattern to be statically converted at configuration time and causes DynamicPatternLayout
	/// to perform the same as PatternLayout.</para>
	/// <para>Please see <see cref="PatternLayout"/> for complete documentation.</para>
	/// <example>
	///	&lt;layout type="log4net.Layout.DynamicPatternLayout"&gt;
	///   &lt;param name="Header" value="%newline**** Trace Opened     Local: %date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff}     UTC: %utcdate{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} ****%newline" /&gt;
	///   &lt;param name="Footer" value="**** Trace Closed %date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} ****%newline" /&gt;
