Using XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch to watch for Config changes

[Dominick Cosgrove <Do...@gartmore.com>]

I have a ASP .Net 1.1 app which I am using log4net ver 1.2.10.0 with.

I am trying to use the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(logfile)); method in the Application_Start Method of the Global.asax.cs, but get the following error:
Method not found: Void log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(System.IO.FileInfo).
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: Void log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(System.IO.FileInfo).

Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.


Stack Trace:

[MissingMethodException: Method not found: Void log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(System.IO.FileInfo).]
   Scratch.Global.Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) +0


If I use the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(logfile)); everything works fine.

I have also tried using the [assembly:log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile="Log4Net.config", Watch=true)] attrribute in the AssemblyInfo.cs. This does not seem to load the configuration as log.IsDebugEnabled evaluates to false when I use this method of loading the configuration file.

I would ideally like to get the configuration file watched so that if we need to enable logging we do not need to restart the application.

Many thanks in advance

Are you sure have the right version of log4Net referenced.  I'm using this
code with no problem in 1.1 and 2.0...
 
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(ConfigFile));

You might want to try rebuilding your project, could be something out of
whack in the assembly loading.
