When I tried your app.config I received an exception immediately upon
calling XmlConfigurator.Configure();
I had to move some things around in it for it to work:
There doesn't seem to be an exception when I call Environment.Exit(1);
either.
Does modifying your app.config like below solve your problem?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings"
type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<applicationSettings>
<!-- .... -->
</applicationSettings>
<log4net>
<!-- Define some output appenders -->
<appender name="LogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="GenericInterfaceClient.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level
%logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="default">
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</logger>
</log4net>
</configuration>
