I'm glad you were able to sort it out.

Now it loads properly without an explicit call to XMLConfigurator.

However, I would like to dig a bit deeper to see if there's a problem with log4net. Have you looked at the examples section and followed the steps required for configuring log4net from the app.config file? <http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html> http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html Adding the following line to your AssemblyInfo.cs should do it in your case: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)] You have not forgotten to add it, have you? Cheers Von: Howe, Peter L [mailto:ph...@paychex.com] Gesendet: Montag, 24. Juni 2013 21:43 An: Log4NET Dev Betreff: RE: log4net not reading all of app.config file Thank you for the suggestions, I had already added my own WriteLine statements but had not tried the XMLConfigurator. I traced right down to the calls to log4net, and the test program was making the calls, but nothing was generated. This one line of code (along with the necessary using statements) fixed the problem: XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new FileInfo("app.config")); I have no idea why it was not reading the app.config file properly to begin with, which still makes me nervous that something else is still broken (and then repaired by the explicit call to XMLConfigurator), but I'm not going to look the gift horse in the mouth! I can proceed now, while noting the problem in the back of my mind. Thanks again!

Have you tried loading the configuration from a separate config file (XmlConfigurator.Configure(file))? Have you tried to output something on the Console right nearby the log4net logging calls to check whether your program really generates logging events (Console.WriteLine())? Either way, you'll have to post more information. At least we need the output of log4net internal logging. Even better would be a sample application showing the problem. Cheers, D.

I know it is reading at least PART of the file, because I can enable the internal key ("<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>) by changing the comment markers, and log4net outputs debug information according to whether or not that line in the config file is activated (by uncommenting.) However, it does not seem to see the rest of the config file, as nothing in the <log4net> section generates any debug output, while in a different project the exact same app.config file generates copious debug output for the <log4net> section.
