This IS a console application, .net 3.5, and the app.config file is set to
always copy on build, so that rules out number one.
I ran the code you suggested, and yielded this information:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Root Information:
Name: log4net-default-repository Threshold: ALL
Root Appenders: EventLogAppender,
Hierarchy Appenders:
Appender: EventLogAppender Type: log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender
Loggers:
EventLogAppender Additivity: True Level: null
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anything in there jump out at you, such as the "Level" perhaps?
