Thanks Nicko for a quick reply.
I had a entry in my configuration file as
<logger name="Business">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="Busine" />
</logger>
The ref attribute is ponting to a appender which doesn't exist. In this
case too the log4net.LogManager.GetRepository().Configured property
returns true.
Thanks,

Log4net is designed not to throw any exceptions up into the main
application.

You can test if log4net is configured by checking this property:
bool isConfiguredOk = log4net.LogManager.GetRepository().Configured;
