hmm, I am not sure how this is working for you, for me it errors on XmlConfigurator.Configure() What .net and log4net version are you using, what type of app is this?
>From browsing the code, it looks like the log4net code isn't set up to handle the log4net section in a sectionGroup like you have it. It expects the log4net section to not be in a group. see the examples here: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html The relevant log4net code is in XmlConfigurator.cs: configElement = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("log4net") as XmlElement; For your app.config to work, that line would have to be written like: configElement = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("applicationSettings/log4net") as XmlElement; On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 8:05 AM, Dahl, Scott (CMA Consulting) <sd...@cma.com > wrote: > I just clipped out the log4net specific settings … the app runs fine with > my app.config file.
