Re: FW: Problem logging in class library

[Steve Whitley]

Adding [assembly : log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)] to your assemblyinfo.cs file will load up a class that looks of an application configuration file.  If the application has one, it will attempt to load up the configuration details from the config file and build your logging system.  the data in the config file specifies the appenders that will listen for logging events, and any parameters they need, as well as what LoggingLevel they will subscribe to. if that data is not in the application configuration file then you will have no appenders or repository set up to do your logging.  If you plan on users of your wrapper not having to do any configuring, then you need to do a BasicConfigurator.Configure somewhere in the entrypoint to your wrapper and setup log4net.  there  you can specify what repository you want to use, and / or what appenders you want to use.

I have created an app.config and also added the assembly instruction as you have suggested. My another application which has reference to the wrapper class project has no code or mention for log4net. It just class the wrapper class constructor which must do the logging at initialization and will eventually call the writeLog, writeDebug etc of this wrapper. I am not quite clear how my referencing application which is the ASP.net should be configured to log by hand as you have suggested. Basically I am not sure what log by hand means. Thanks again!

In my understanding I would need to create like a log4net.config or some file like that and mention that in AssemblyInfo.cs if it should be done in class libraries.   Basically I have created a Logger class in the class library project and reference it in ASP.net project in the same solution by creating its constructor in Page_Load of the home page When the constructor is called it goes to the log4net code private static readonly ILog logger =                   LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Class1)); log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo("App.config"));                   logger.Debug("Here is a debug log.");                   logger.Info("... and an Info log.");                   logger.Warn("... and a warning.");                   logger.Error("... and an error.");                   logger.Fatal("... and a fatal error.");   but doesn’t create a log file I hope this makes some sense I have wasted like 2 days and also didn’t have much time to read anything on this Thanks again!

In my .Net solution I have a class library project and a ASP.net project. I want to create a Logger class which is like a wrapper in the class library and have all the other Webservices or ASP.net projects in the solution access that. This is how I use log4net in the Class library   AssemblyInfo.cs [assembly : log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)]   App.config <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration>     <configSections>         <section name="log4net"            type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />     </configSections>     <log4net>         <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">             <param name="File" value="c:\\LogTest23.txt" />             <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />             <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">                 <param name="Header" value="[Header]\r\n" />                 <param name="Footer" value="[Footer]\r\n" />                 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %m%n" />             </layout>         </appender>                        <root>             <level value="INFO" />             <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />                     </root>     </log4net> </configuration>   Logger class private static readonly ILog logger =                   LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Class1)); log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo("App.config"));                   logger.Debug("Here is a debug log.");                   logger.Info("... and an Info log.");                   logger.Warn("... and a warning.");                   logger.Error("... and an error.");                   logger.Fatal("... and a fatal error.");   I also tried using the <ClassLibraryName>.exe.config as the name for the app.config as I read it somewhere Then my ASP.net application creates an object of this Class1 from the class library application and see if the log file is created Could you please help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Thank you very much Dipty
