I'm not exactly a Log4Net expert but the call in the 2nd tier is static, this means if the userDAO object is ever referenced before log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); is run then it will try to get the ILog before it is ready. Have you tried making it non-static?

ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); .... log.Debug("Calling userDAO.GetAllUsers()"); .... } ================================================================================ but when i try logging on the Tier 2, doesn't do anything at all, not even an error. ================================================================================ public partial class userDAO : DAObase { private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); ..... public DataTable GetAllUsers(out string ErrMsg) { ErrMsg = String.Empty; cmd.CommandText = _queryGetAllUsers; log.Debug(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name + ":" + "Connecting to DB"); cmd.Connection = conn.GetConn(); ..... } ...... } ================================================================================ -- ::::: Now Playing: (Winamp is not active ;-) João Felipe Santoro Pinto<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For more Info check my vCard attached -------------------------------------------------------------------- *** This email may contain confidential information and/or copyright material.
