What I was saying is that I have an app I'm developing right now that
does exactly what you're trying to do, have two different loggers log to
two different independent loggers (i.e. Logger1 goes to foo.log and
Logger2 goes to bar.log) and it works just fine.
I do it with a similar config to what you just mentioned.
Now, to answer your question... you can't get a handle to appenders
(well, you can, but it's not intuitive and you shouldn't need to do it
anyhow) like MainLog or OtherLog. All you need to care about is the
loggers such as "DataLogger" and all the other loggers under root.
With that config, these two statements should work:
ILog defaultLog = LogManager.GetLogger("Blah");
ILog dataLog = LogManager.GetLogger("DataLogger");
defaultLog.Error("Test");
dataLog.Error("Data Test");
After your app exits, you should notice that MainLog.txt has "Test" in
it and OtherLog.txt has "Data Test" in it.

Chad,
I too was able to log to multiple files. The problem
arises when I need to log to two different files
seperately. That's why I believe it is not that
log4net is not able to access the file system.
But I think I know what is causing the problem. If my
log4net section in my web.config file looks like this:
<log4net debug="false">
<appender name="MainLog"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender,log4net" >
<param name="File" value="C:\\Logs\\MainLog.txt"
/>
<param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
<layout
type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p
%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="OtherLog"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender,log4net" >
<param name="File"
value="C:\\Logs\\OtherLog.txt" />
<param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
<layout
type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p
%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref name="MainLog"/>
</root>
<logger name="DataLogger" additivity="false">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref name="OtherLog"/>
</logger>
</log4net>
Assume I have a class called Logger, how do I get a
handle to MainLog and OtherLog. So I could invoke a
method (either Debug, Error, Fatal etc.) on each
object. For example in my Logger class I could type
oMainLog.Fatal("My Fatal Message") which would write
to C:\Logs\MainLog.txt, since oMainLog has a reference
to the MainLog Appender.
Thanks a lot.
Ronnie.
