You are correct, there is no need to set the attribute in each assembly. The top level assembly handles the configuration -- everyone else goes along for the ride. We have a number of library assemblies that get used in different applications (web app, web service, service), so we didn't want to hard code any configuration information at the library level. Fortunately, there is no need to. A reference to log4net and a call to LogManager.GetLogger() in the library classes is all that is needed.

For each project, reference the log4net dll and put the following line in the assemblyInfo file: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator( ConfigFile="log4net.config",Watch=true )] Now at the class level for each class add the following line to create an instance of the logger: private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger( MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); Now you can make calls like so from your methods: log.Error(ex.Message.ToString(), ex); Hope that helps Dave ---------------------------------------- From: Erlis Vidal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:11 PM To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org Subject: Config log4net in n-tiear application Framework 2.0! Hi everyone! I want to configure log4net in order to use the same configuration file (with the watch option active) in my n-tier application! I have the following structure in my solution: Website (as a web application project) Business (as a class library project) Data (as a class library project) Test (as a class library project) I want to be able to log messages in any of those layers using the same log4net configuration file... Can you provide any suggestion for the right configuration? Regards, Erlis
