Hi All,

I am new to log4net. I would to integrate this dll into my application. So I
have done the following steps:
1. I have added log4net dll into my application.
2. Then insert this code
        protected static readonly ILog objLog = LogManager.GetLogger(
System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

        private showLog()
                {
                        if (objLog.IsDebugEnabled) objLog.Error("While
save");
                }

I hope these are the only steps to integrate log4net into application. But
on load I get IsDebugEnabled FALSE.
So it is difficult to write log.

Please help me!!

Thanks in advance

You need to configure log4net for the application first.  To tell it what to
log and where to log it.

http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html

The XmlConfigurator lets you use an XML file to set up the appenders you
want to use.  It can also be set up to automaticall change your log settings
when the file is updated.  Very handy.

As Dean pointed out, check that you're actually starting log4net. Also
though, in your example you're checking if the Debug level is enabled,
but you're logging an error. While this isn't "wrong" per-se, it's not
common. I would expect that you'd check Debug if you were logging debug,
and check Error if you were logging error. Then again, you may be doing
something slightly different.

Also, you need to configure the logging system.  A simple way to do it
is to put this into your assemblyinfo.cs file:

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile="log4net.config",
Watch = true)]

Then make an actual config file called log4net.config and make sure
it's in your app's working folder.  There are many examples out on the
web.  Here is one that will output to the console if you're running
the app from there:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,
        log4net" />
  </configSections>

  <log4net>
    <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender" >
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p [%x] - %m%n" />
      </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
      <level value="ALL" />
      <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>

</configuration>
