Sure. The issue was that the Regional Settings of the Win8 machine with new Visual Studio were different from Win7 machine and thus the path given by the log4net to log the file was having the "/" in date (which was part of the log file name) which caused the issued and it was not able to locate the proper path to put the file.
Resolving that "/" with proper replacement made that work. So, the issue was not with log4net but the path and the regional settings of the machine and taking the deeper look into the internal logs of the log4net made the things clearer.

I got it solved by looking at the log files of the log4net and the issue was in the naming and some regional setting of the machine with Win8.

The next best bet I can come up with is that you step through the application with the debugger right from the point where you set up the property and invoke log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(). You could even step through a second instance that runs on win7 at the same time. This way you would literally see where the instances branch.

The only issue is when I try to run the same code on Win8 with VS2013 and it don't use that property and create alone the file name as the datetime and not the static value I have added. It's very surprising and I am banging my head what changes are doing this to happen. :/ Regards Nitin From: Dominik Psenner [mailto:dpsen...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 January 2015 17:36 To: 'Log4NET User' Cc: nitinkumgo...@gmail.com<mailto:nitinkumgo...@gmail.com> Subject: [External] AW: Log4Net RollingFileAppender not adding Custom property in Win8/VS2013 Howdie, Here's a list of things that you could check: * First of all enable log4net's internal debug logging, it may give you a clue what he is doing * Make sure to call log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() after setting the property * Escape path separators properly * Specify the rolling style to be used Beware that using a patternstring for the file property of a rollingfileappender is a hot hack and you might get burned as soon as rolling jumps in!

But If i try to run the same program on Win8 and Visual Studio 2013, it do create the log file but without the custom property. I have not edited anything and same thing is working in WIn7 but not in Win8. I don't know what is changing in both of these environments. Can anyone give hint at what to look for? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net" /> </configSections> <log4net> <appender name="CsvFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender,log4net"> <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="C:\TSAS_DRU_Log\%property{LogName}" /> <appendToFile value="true"/> <maxSizeRollBackups value="10"/> <maximumFileSize value="100MB"/> <staticLogFileName value="true"/> <layout type="TSAS_DRU_app.CsvPatternLayout, TSAS_DRU_app"> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="CsvFileAppender" /> </root> </log4net> </configuration> I am setting the property in the code as following which is working correctly in WIn7 but not in Win8 where I have just updated the Visual studio as version 2013 with 2010: string LogName = "TSAS_DRU_Log_" + date + ".csv"; log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["LogName"] = LogName; Nitin Goyal - Technical Lead, Software - Sensors & Integrated Systems UTC AEROSPACE SYSTEMS Netra Tech Park, Old Plot No.181, New Plot No. 40, EPIP Industrial Area, Part of Sy.No.28, Kundalahalli Village, Krishnaraja Puram Hobli, Bangalore 560 066, Karnataka, India Tel: +91 80 673 80262 Mobile: +91 9886295724 Fax: +91 80 673 80005 nitin.go...@utas.utc.com<mailto:naveen.hiriyanna...@utas.utc.com> www.utcaerospacesystems.com<http://www.utcaerospacesystems.com/> CONFIDENTIALITY WARNING: This message may contain proprietary and/or privileged information of UTC Aerospace Systems and its affiliated companies.
