What's missing here? Using profiler, the database never receives the call.

web.config:
    <log4net>
        <appender name="ADONetAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.ADONetAppender">
            <bufferSize value="100" />
            <connectionType value="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection,

            <connectionString value="data source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;initial
catalog=MyTestDB;integrated security=false;persist security info=True;User
ID=user;Password=pass" />
            <commandText value="INSERT INTO Log
([Date],[Thread],[Level],[Logger],[Message],[Exception]) VALUES (@log_date,

        <root>

            <appender-ref ref="ADONetAppender" />
        </root>
        <logger name="LogUtility">
            <level value="ALL" />
        </logger>
</log4net>

global.asax application_start
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

log wrapper:
    public class LogUtility : ILogUtility
    {
        private ILog log { get; set; }

        public LogUtility()
        {
            log = LogManager.GetLogger("LogUtility"); //
LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
        }

        #region ILogUtility Members

        public void LogException(string message)
        {

        }

        public void LogException(string message, Exception exception)
        {
            log.Error(message, exception);

default.aspx log call:

I don't know if it matters or not but the Type is AdoNetAppender not ADONetAppender. Do you see a TypeLoadException when you turn on log4net's internal debugging?

I have internal debugging on and no errors are given. Everything executes
without error.
I stepped through the execution, and looked at the instance of log noticing
that all of the IsErrorEnabled, etc were false. I even added a simple file
appender and appropriate access to the file and still nothing.

I created a unit test and got some debug info back finally but I'm unclear
why it's happening. I'm calling Configure in my utility class ->
public LogUtility()
        {
            log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
            log =
LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
        }

Ok, I added [assembly: XmlConfigurator()] to the AssemblyInfo files and the
unit tests log the messages successfully however I still am unable to log
from the web project. Ideas anyone?
Ron Grabowski

What happens when you make the buffer size 1?
suedeuno
11/26/2008 11:50 PM  

I got it to work. I removed a named logger in the config file and that seemed
to make it work. Still not sure why I had to use attributes in the
assemblyinfo files though, I was calling
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); in my logger class.

You probably missing these lines in your web.config / app.config
<configSections>
  <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>

See http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html, .config Files paragraph

Actually that section is present in the web.config. Strangely if I remove the
attribute from assembly.info no logging occurs, but if I replace the
attribute back to the assembly.info then logging works. Is there an issue
with log4net and .Net 3.5 framework?
