Re: Default logging when config not present?

[Richard Collette]

Ron,

 

Thanks a bunch.  Sorry to even make you have to answer that.   I recall reading about programmatic configuration.  The repository lookup didn't click in my head though.

 

I add the code to my custom LogManager as a static method called

AddDefaultAppender() and it works great.

 

Also thanks for the reply on the Async logger.   I've read the docs several times over the course of several months and my recollection just doesn't seem to be serving me well as I am finally using log4net in a project.  

 

Thanks again,

Rich

Apparently that's not the default behavior for log4net. You could do
something like this to ensure a log4net writes to the Console:

XmlConfigurator.Configure();

if (LogManager.GetRepository().GetAppenders().Length == 0)
{
ConsoleAppender consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
consoleAppender.Layout = new SimpleLayout();
BasicConfigurator.Configure(consoleAppender);
}
