I agree with referencing the log4net.dll, but I don't think you need to put the [assembly...] attribute in. At least not if the top-level application (asp.net) does the configure through code. We don't use the attribute at all and we get logging from all our levels. Our ASP.Net code does though do this in global.sasx: protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { string configFile = Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["log4net-config-file"]); log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(configFile)); log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger( System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); log.InfoFormat("Watching '{0}'", configFile); } -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x3051 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TechSoftInc.com <BLOCKED::blocked::http://www.techsoftinc.com/> Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

For each project, reference the log4net dll and put the following line in the assemblyInfo file: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator( ConfigFile="log4net.config",Watch=true )] Now at the class level for each class add the following line to create an instance of the logger: private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger( MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); Now you can make calls like so from your methods: log.Error(ex.Message.ToString(), ex); Hope that helps Dave ________________________________ From: Erlis Vidal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:11 PM To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org Subject: Config log4net in n-tiear application Framework 2.0! Hi everyone! I want to configure log4net in order to use the same configuration file (with the watch option active) in my n-tier application! I have the following structure in my solution: Website (as a web application project) Business (as a class library project) Data (as a class library project) Test (as a class library project) I want to be able to log messages in any of those layers using the same log4net configuration file... Can you provide any suggestion for the right configuration? Regards, Erlis
