Due to a fix in CVS for config string parsing the backslashes in the
date pattern should no longer be escaped. Previously we required C style
escaping of strings, however this is incorrect as XML escaping is what
is actually required.
The DateTime.ToString method supports sing quote escaping of string
literals as well as slash escaping of individual characters, you may
want to try the following config as I think it is more readable:
<appender name="DateRollingFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="rolling-log-" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd'.txt'" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"
value="%-5level %-20thread %date %logger line %line%n %message%n"
/>
</appender>
