Hi, http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/140911/log4net-Tutorial (hit #2 for log4net tutorial, at least for me) yields: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)] At work we use log4net and have never had any issues. One thing it's very useful for is sending email messages when

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,

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

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 root tag at the end of the

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
