Newbie problem

 

I’m trying to configure log4net for a console application .net 2.0. I can’t
even get the simplest configuration to work. I put this configuration in my
app.config:

 

<configuration>

  <configSections>

    <section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />

  </configSections>

  

  <appSettings>

    <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>

  </appSettings>

 

  <log4net>

 

    <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"
>

      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] -
%message%newline" />

      </layout>

    </appender>

 

    <root>

      <level value="INFO"/>

      <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender"/>

    </root>

 

  </log4net>

 

</configuration>

 

And in my code I fetch the logger through

 

private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyClass));

 

and the tries to log by:

 

                if (log.IsInfoEnabled)

                {

                    log.Info("Log something");

                }

 

Nothing is logged and when I debug the code I can see that the log instance
is not enabled on any level. 

As can be seen from above I have enabled internal logging which give me some
output:

 

log4net: log4net assembly [log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral,

Press the Enter key to exit the program.

 

As I understand it from the output and from debugging the appender is not
created in the Repository. Am I right? And in that case why?

 

What am I doing wrong?

Thank's for the answer.
It didn't solve my problem but I tried the solution proposed by si in the
post "Try XmlConfigurator.Configure() if logging is not working" and that
worked!
I'm a little confused why I have to manually call
XmlConfigurator.Configure(). Seem like a central thing that should be done
"under the hood".

Hi Anders,

 

You can try to put:

 

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)]

 

Somewhere in one of your source files, for example in your program.cs file
(before the namespace specification). 

 

Best regards

Georg
