    copied!<p>I can't see what is wrong here. I just want to get log4net writing to a log file with my Outlook AddIn. I have the following in my <strong>app.config</strong> file:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;configSections&gt; &lt;section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,Log4net"/&gt; &lt;/configSections&gt; &lt;log4net&gt; &lt;appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" &gt; &lt;param name="File" value="log-file.txt" /&gt; &lt;param name="AppendToFile" value="true" /&gt; &lt;rollingStyle value="Size" /&gt; &lt;maxSizeRollBackups value="10" /&gt; &lt;maximumFileSize value="10MB" /&gt; &lt;staticLogFileName value="true" /&gt; &lt;layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss} – %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;level value="DEBUG" /&gt; &lt;appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" /&gt; &lt;/root&gt; &lt;/log4net&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here are the relevant statements in my startup class, ThisAddIn.cs (comments show variations I have tried):</p> <pre><code>//protected static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger("application-log"); public static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(ThisAddIn)); private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //BasicConfigurator.Configure(); //XMLConfigurator.Configure(); log.Info("Application Start"); log.Warn("This is a warning message."); log.Debug("This is a debug message"); if (log.IsDebugEnabled) { log.Debug("This is another debug message"); } </code></pre> <p>In my research of this, it should write to a file called log-file.txt in my project/bin/Debug folder but I see nothing created. When I step into the code with the Debugger the methods of the log object appear to work without complaint. I also tried the following absolute specification for the file with the same lack of results:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;param name="File" value="c:\\try\\logger\\log-file.txt" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Can someone spot my mistake? </p>
