Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to find documentation about what parameters are available for the appenders, in particular, the file appender,rollingfile appender, and smtpappender.
The docs at apache don't seem to list all of the parameters available. Do you know where I could find them?

Have you tried searching for "log4net example"? http://www.google.com/search?q=log4net+example I would create a log4net.config file that looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net> <appender name="MyFirstFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <file value="log-file.txt" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%5p %d (%c:%L) - %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="ALL" /> <appender-ref ref="MyFirstFileAppender" /> </root> </log4net> Then add this code as early as you can during your program's start up: string log4netConfigFilePath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase, "log4net.config"); log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new FileInfo(log4netConfigFilePath)); To log a statement do this: if (log.IsDebugEnabled) { log.Debug("Hello World"); } Hope that helps, Ron --- "Rutledge, J. Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --------------------------------- need sample Can anyone point me to some sample c# code on how to set up the logger and fileappender? I've tried following the examples in the supplied documentation but I don't understand it all. For example, ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Form1)); FileAppender fa = new FileAppender("c:\\znewlog.txt"); This fails because fileappender constructor is looking for another parameter of type ILayout. I can't find any example of what Ilayout is or how to pass it in. Also, If I decide to use a config file to do this, how do you link the logger to the config file (make it look there for it's settings)?
