Log4Net works in Dev without calling XMLConfigurator?

Stackoverflow post is here:

Couldn’t get it working when deployed, but someone pointed out that I had to
call XMLConfigurator, which I neglected to do, despite the fact that I have
used log4net dozens of times.  I was also missing the reference to the
log4net section in the "configSections" area of my web.config.

For some reason, the logging still works in my development environment (i.e.
while debugging).

Is this normal?  What causes log4Net to get wired up correctly even without
the correct web.config reference and calling XMLConfigurator?

Hi

For what it's worth, the logging should be initialized with the default settings. That happens to be a root logger and nothing more. So the apparently working loggers may be just an illusion.

Cheers,
D.
