Roy, I agree to you! But then what should be the parameter in the config file (for file attribute) to get the current user's program directory?

They should be placed in the user program data directory. If memory serves, log4Net has a "reserved" word for that directory that you can use in the configuration. ProgramFiles etc are write protected for a reason and you should not unprotect it or any part to all writing the log. That just give malware one more avenue of attack. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Chastain -----Original Message----- From: Monish Naware [mailto:monish.naw...@mphasis.com] Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 06:54 To: Log4NET User Subject: RE: log4net for .NET 4.0 / Windows 7 Here I found something... Log file is getting generated but not where I mentioned! The file is getting created where the excel application is i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 14. But I want the log file to be generated where my addin is installed i.e. C:\Program Files\MyAddin\.... Below is the config file of my application: <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="MyLog.log" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <rollingStyle value="Size" /> <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" /> <maximumFileSize value="2000KB" /> <immediateFlush value="false" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" /> </layout> </appender> I even tried: <file value=".\MyLog.log" /> Thought this will point to the directory where my addin is installed.

Things I'd try... 1) writing the log to another location 2) turning on the log4net debugging and see what it coughs up in the debug output Information transmitted by this e-mail is proprietary to MphasiS, its associated companies and/ or its customers and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
