Please help a newbie This IS a console application, .net 3.5, and the app.config file is set to always copy on build, so that rules out number one. I ran the code you suggested, and yielded this information: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Root Information: Name: log4net-default-repository Threshold: ALL Root Appenders: EventLogAppender, Hierarchy Appenders: Appender: EventLogAppender Type: log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender Loggers: EventLogAppender Additivity: True Level: null -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anything in there jump out at you, such as the "Level" perhaps?
