In fact, I’ve just tried adding this to my config directives and still the same effect!

I am using a tail program but I’ve never observed chunking in the past, additionally whenever I stop my c# Application (just running in debug with F5 in Visual studio, stopped with shift+F5) the log suddenly gets written en-masse – so it’s like it’s cached somewhere and flushed on close. In fact I’ve just confirmed this with Notepad++ - the file doesn’t get written until I shift+F5 Weird, no? From: Lee Chun Kit [mailto:chunki...@gmail.com] Sent: 24 October 2011 14:59 To: Log4NET User Subject: Re: Turning off buffered IO for the RollingFileAppenders The RollingFileAppender shouldn't be buffering by default as the default value of the ImmediateFlush property it inherits from the TextWriterAppender is true [1]. Could it be the case that you are observing the log entries using a "tail" program which refreshes the log file after a period of around 20-30 log entries?

I’m a recent convert to the Log4Net way and I’ve implemented myself a RollingFileAppender as below – what I can’t seem to do is stop it buffering! I’m trying to debug a live transfer process using log entries and having it batch 20-30 log entries before writing them to file is a bit limiting. I’ve found lots of entries in Log4j documentation about a ‘bufferedIO’ flag which I’ve tried to set but with debugging on it says log4net can’t find it as a parameter. Is anyone able to assist?
