Try this:
log4net.Appender.FileAppender oFileAppender = new log4net.Appender.FileAppender(); log4net.Layout.PatternLayout oPatternLayout = new log4net.Layout.PatternLayout(); oPatternLayout.Header = "[Begin]\r\n"; oPatternLayout.Footer = "[End]\r\n\r\n"; oPatternLayout.ConversionPattern = "%date[%thread] %-5level %message%newline"; oPatternLayout.ActivateOptions(); oFileAppender.Layout = oPatternLayout; oFileAppender.File = .... oFileAppender.ActivateOptions(); Then configure log4net to use the oFileAppender.
