of the log entries automatically appear in some area of form(for

Just create your own appender. I use a very simple appender called
TextBoxAppender.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class TextBoxAppender : log4net.Appender.IAppender
{
delegate void AppendTextDelegate(string text);
AppendTextDelegate invokeDelegate;
TextBox textbox;
string name = null;
log4net.Layout.ILayout layout = new log4net.Layout.SimpleLayout();
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}
public TextBoxAppender(TextBox textbox)
{
invokeDelegate = new AppendTextDelegate(AppendText);
this.textbox = textbox;
}
public void DoAppend(log4net.Core.LoggingEvent loggingEvent)
{
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(buffer))
{
layout.Format(writer, loggingEvent);
}
AppendText(buffer.ToString());
}
void AppendText(string input)
{
if (textbox.InvokeRequired)
textbox.Invoke(invokeDelegate, input);
else
textbox.AppendText(input);
}
public void Close()
{
}
}
