It seems that the config file is being wiped out when I start the
application, so perhaps it is a problem with my VS setup. Anyone any ideas?

I have just started with log4net, and am having some difficulty in
getting things going.
I have code:
Imports log4net
Imports log4net.Config
Module Module1
Private log As log4net.ILog =
log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType)
Sub Main()
Debug.WriteLine("Starting")
' Open log
Dim filename As String = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
& "autoraw.exe.config"
log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.Configure(New
IO.FileInfo(filename))
log.Debug("Starting application")
End Sub
End Module
and when run I get no output file, and the config file is deleted.
If I enable internal debugging, though, I get output file with my
"starting application", and the config file remains.
I assume that I am doing something wrong, but I can't see what.
Can anyone shed light on this?
