log4net sample

2012-03-18 Thread Greg Keogh
Does anyone here use log4net? I used it several years ago but found it to be huge overkill because all I ever wanted to do was write everything to rolling files. I eventually wrote my own lightweight 'RollingFile' class and have used it for years. Now my logging needs have become a bit more complic

You're probably right, in my experience log4net silently fails if there is anything wrong with the configuration. I don't have anything at hand but I have configurations for email and database appenders, I think both in XML and code, that I'll pass in later. Sent from my iPod On 18/03/2012, at

I had a bit of a search for this, and got many answers relating to clickonce (some ? now-solved error in Microsoft's cpp code), but perhaps this would work? Apparently, it worked for a few people with vs2005, vs2008, vs2010 - In VB2005/(etc) -Go to the property of the Project -Select the Sig

I've been using NLog recently Greg. It's got a nuget package and is pretty simple to use. I've used log4net in the past but it was a while ago. I remember it being a bit frustrating at times but I haven't had the same issues with NLog. I'm sure they're all much of a muchness but it's working for me

Greg, I’ve had the same issues in the past, and often resolved them with internal debugging. Here is a clip from the log4net website. http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html -- go to the ‘How do I enable log4net internal debugging?’ section. Rob From: ozdotnet-boun

I have also recently started playing with log4net. One thing that has tripped me up a couple of times now is that there needs to be an entry in the assembyinfo.cs file. If your're using an xml config file it needs to look like: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "Log4net.confi

Ok, so given a WinForms app, I have a 'myapp.log4net' file ( https://gist.github.com/2070790) which gets copied to the output directory. This file contains an AdoNetAppender and an SmtpAppender. The database table is included in the l4n documentation I believe. Note the tag at the end of the file,

Thanks everyone for detailed replies on this, which led to find the magical missing link to get log4net working. You need one of these: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); -or- [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "testapp.exe.config", Watch = true)] The paramete
