I posted an answer to your SO question.
Basically the code sample you quoted isn't accurate: instead of casting ILog to log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger you should be casting ILog.Logger. I've implemented an abstraction around these administrative functions: a class "LoggerTree" that exposes a hierarchy of instantiated loggers, with a method to update the Level for any node in the tree. I use this to display an administrative UI with a treeview of loggers with the option to change the logging level. If anyone's interested I'd be happy to share the code.

I've posted this on Stackoverflow if anyone wants to answer it on there for SO rep.. <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20384888/query-and-modify-log4net-logger -levels-from-code> I would like to create an area in my application that will let sysadmins modify logger levels directly. This stackoverflow answer from 2009 <http://stackoverflow.com/a/738239/5056> implies that I can do it with foreach (ILog logger in log4net.LogManager.GetCurrentLoggers()) { ((log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger)logger).Level = log4net.Core.Level.Error; } My application uses log4net 2.0.3 (1.2.13) <https://www.nuget.org/packages/log4net/> and this seems to not be available as no implementation of ILog inherits that class. Instead I can grab each ILog's instances of ILogger to give me the name but will not let me query or set the Level. There is nothing I can cast this to in the meantime as it seems to be implemented by an internal class. PS. How exactly does the email confirmation protect me from someone subscribing falsely?
