How to track down log4net problems

Question

I use log4net all the time, but one thing I\'ve never figured out is how to tell what\'s going on on the inside. For example, I\'ve got a console appender and a database app

Answer 1

In log4net 2.0.8 it seems not to be possible to make the logging with log4net in a separate DLL. If I tried this, the results are very strange: No logging is performed anymore. And the initialization of log4net with the debug option shows no Errors.

Like K0D4 said, you should have a reference to log4net in your main-module and should it call once on the start of the Programm and all is fine.

In the next version of log4net, this bug will be probably be fixed.
