Your application's .config file must be called "Foo.exe.config" where "Foo" is the name of your project. The .config file must be in the same directory as your executable. So if your application is called "Foo" then you would have the following files in the build output directory: Foo.exe Foo.exe.config In this way each .NET exe can have a .config file. This is a feature of the .NET runtime and noting to do with log4net. The System.Diagnostics.Trace framework looks in the .config file for information about trace listeners to create. If the log4netIntDebug.txt file you have specified as the target for System.Diagnostics.Trace is not getting created then your .config file is in the wrong place, or has the wrong name, or you are running your application without enough permissions to write to "C:\temp" (unlikely). You can test that the System.Diagnostics.Trace framework is working by calling System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(). This should write something to the file you have specified in the configuration/system.diagnostics/trace/listeners section of your application's .config file. When you have this working you can just call log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() with no arguments to have log4net load its configuration from your application's .config file.
