One note for future reference
if (log.IsDebugEnabled)
{
log.Debug("This is a DEBUG level message. The most
VERBOSE level.");
log.Info("Extended information, with higher
importance than the Debug call");
log.Warn("An unexpected but recoverable situation
occurred");
tempdata = "Source already exits";
Probably does not do what you want. Either or both Info and Warn could
be enabled without Debug being enabled.
Try changing Priority to Level in the <root>
If you still do not get log entries, try a more simple appender such as
a RollingLogFile etc. The EventLog appender has proven difficult for
many people and it gets worse under Vista/2008 and above.

Subject: How to do configuration in assembly.cs file for log4net
implementation?
HI,
I am trying to implement the log4net. In my project ,i am referring a
dll project,which has the log4net implementation and i am calling the
dll from from my asp number.
The call is successful from asp to dll method and the logger is
created just fine.
private static readonly ILog log =
LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(ErrorLogging).Name);
But the problem is the logger is not enabled. I mean
IsErrorEnabled/IsDebugEnabled are false.
The confusing part to me is assembly.cs,in which the place where we
mention the
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension =
"log4net", Watch = true)]
// This will cause log4net to look for a configuration file
// called TestApp.exe.log4net in the application base
// directory (i.e. the directory containing TestApp.exe)
// The config file will be watched for changes.
So ,do i need to create a file with .log4net extension ,if so i tried
and its not working.
And not working from my web.config also.
Please see my web.config code
<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="EventLogAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender">
<param name="LogName" value="PortalWebLog" />
<param name="ApplicationName" value="Portal" />
<eventId value="6" />
<eventCategory value="10" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger
[%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<priority value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
And the dll method ,where i am accesing the log
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["EventID"] = 6;
String tempdata=string.Empty;
if (!System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName))
{
tempdata = sourceName + logName + objErr +
strBotListPath;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(sourceName, logName);
}
else
{
if (log.IsDebugEnabled)
{
log.Debug("This is a DEBUG level message. The most
VERBOSE level.");
log.Info("Extended information, with higher
importance than the Debug call");
log.Warn("An unexpected but recoverable situation
occurred");
tempdata = "Source already exits";
}
else
{
tempdata = "Source already exits,but debug not
enabled";
}
}
After removing the below line
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension =
"log4net", Watch = true)],
and by placing the log4net.config in C:\windows\system32\inetsrv,the
error log is enabled and changing the line,
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new
FileInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase+"log4n
et.config"));
The IsDebugEnabled is true but i am not seeing any errors in the
eventLog and its empty
DEV Environment :Windows 2003 ,log4net for .Net framework2.0 [1.2.10.0]
