The ASP.NET worker process watches the /bin directory and web.config file, if there are any changes to the /bin directory or the web.config file -- the application will be recycled. Regards, Dean Fiala

Jayakumar Budamala, I am able to read the config file successfully using the followed code Global.asax Application_Start log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase + "web.config ")); And also I am able to log the messages from my pages. The thing is I have some sessions in my web applications, they are running fine untill the log.Info("My Message") code executes to log the messages to my log file. Once this code executes then all my sessions are getting expired. I am not sure why it is behaving very strange in nature.
