Hi, You can try to change the lock level: <lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
(This must be inserted in the config file in the section where you define the RollingFileAppender).

Our application dispays the log file in a rich text box so that the user can debug himself what all is happening in the application. We plan to user RollingFileAppender so that logs can remain for certain period pf time. However, there is some problem here. When we try reading the log file and display it in the rich text box, then it says that the file is in use and cant be accessed. Log4Net is putting a lock on the file. I tried changing the locking level to Minimal Lock using a file Appender but even that didnt help as as soon as the log is written, we simultaneoulsy display it in the rich text box. Pointers any one????
