Hi,
I am using C# to write an Excel RTD (real-time data) and UDF (user defined function) and having trouble figuring out how I can get log4net to configure itself. My understanding is that it uses the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to look for the configuration file. This is the Excel installation directory. I however do not install my application into that directory and do not put any configuration there. My code is installed into its' own directory which can be found by using Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase within my code. Is there an easy way to have log4net use a different directory when searching for the configuration file?
I have had success manually loading the configuration, but this forces me to put my loading logic into all of the potential entry points. I can have multiple RTDs and UDFs defined within one assembly. So I am looking for an easy way to have one place to worry about the configuration loading.
thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
I believe the easiest way to do that is to to call XmlConfigurator.Configure with the FileInfo object for your desired file.
Is that what you meant when you said you were manually loading the configuration?
If so, I apologize but I think that may be the best you can do.

Brian,
Yes, that is what I meant by manually.
I have not looked at log4net code, but I wonder if the attribute can be enhanced to use the different base directories.
Thanks for looking.
Michael
