RE: [ExcelDna] Log file Not created

[Govert van Drimmelen]

Hi Soumya,

I think you are mixing different ways of getting the log4net configuration loaded.

By putting your config info in the .xll.config file, you are actually using the ".config Files" option described in the log4net manual here http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html.

I think then you must _not_ have the [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator...] attribute, and instead make a call to log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() in your AutoOpen().

I haven't tried it myself, so I hope that puts you on the right track.

Regards,

Govert

Subject: [ExcelDna] Log file Not created

I use log4net for logging in My ClassLibrary Project
I had done all the necessary configurations but log files are not created for me !!!

added reference to log4net.dll in project.
created FirstAddIn.xll.config as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
  </configSections>
  <log4net>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
      <file value="C:\logfile.txt" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] – %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
      <level value="DEBUG" />
      <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>
</configuration>

added to Assembly.cs
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(
ConfigFile = "FirstAddIn.xll.config", Watch = true)] 

Then I call  private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(ESIntegration));
log.info("testing");

This works without any error but log file is not getting created !!!
how can I make this work ?
