Hi,
could you send us your code where you open the log
files to be displayed in your rich text box? I guess the locking problem is not
at the log4net side but in your application to display the log.
Tried to open the File
using
public static FileStream
Open(
string path,
FileMode mode,
FileAccess access,
FileShare share
);
string path,
FileMode mode,
FileAccess access,
FileShare share
);
method of
File?
greets
Christoph
Just a warning though, in my experience with MinimalLock, it slows down execution of the program significantly (as log4net has to lock the file, write it, unlock it, repeat)

You can try to change the lock level:
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock " />
(This must be inserted in the config file in the section where you define
the RollingFileAppender).
Best regards

Subject: Log4Net file locking
Hi,
We wish to port our .NET windows application logging to Log4Net but are
facing a
problem. Our application dispays the log file in a rich text box so that the
user can debug himself what all is happening in the application. We plan to
user
RollingFileAppender so that logs can remain for certain period pf time.
However, there is some problem here. When we try reading the log file and
display it in the rich text box, then it says that the file is in use and
cant
be accessed. Log4Net is putting a lock on the file. I tried changing the
locking
level to Minimal Lock using a file Appender but even that didnt help as as
soon
as the log is written, we simultaneoulsy display it in the rich text box.
Pointers any one????
