That will give you the level for the whole repository not for the
logger.
You need to do:
((log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger)log.Logger).Level.Name
The log4net API is optimised for the configurator rather than
programmatic configuration, this does mean that there is rather a lot of
casting required to do it programmatically.

Well it will hurt performance, but it is safe to reload the
configuration. You can even ask the DOMConfigurator to watch a file for
changes and reload the configuration automatically.
