Thank you for the suggestions, I had already added my own WriteLine statements
but had not tried the XMLConfigurator. I traced right down to the calls to
log4net, and the test program was making the calls, but nothing was generated.
This one line of code (along with the necessary using statements) fixed the
problem:
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new FileInfo("app.config"));
I have no idea why it was not reading the app.config file properly to begin
with, which still makes me nervous that something else is still broken (and
then repaired by the explicit call to XMLConfigurator), but I'm not going to
look the gift horse in the mouth! I can proceed now, while noting the problem
in the back of my mind. Thanks again!

Hi Peter,
very strange problem indeed. Have you tried loading the configuration from a
separate config file (XmlConfigurator.Configure(file))? Have you tried to
output something on the Console right nearby the log4net logging calls to check
whether your program really generates logging events (Console.WriteLine())?
Either way, you'll have to post more information. At least we need the output
of log4net internal logging. Even better would be a sample application showing
the problem.
Cheers,
D.

I have a very strange problem. It appears that log4net is not reading the
entire config file. I know it is reading at least PART of the file, because I
can enable the internal key ("<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>)
by changing the comment markers, and log4net outputs debug information
according to whether or not that line in the config file is activated (by
uncommenting.) However, it does not seem to see the rest of the config file,
as nothing in the <log4net> section generates any debug output, while in a
different project the exact same app.config file generates copious debug output
for the <log4net> section.
Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
