App.xaml.cs

using System.Windows;
using log4net;

namespace Namespace
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for App.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class App : Application
    {
        private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
        
        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
            //Log.Info("Hello World");
            base.OnStartup(e);
        }
    }
}

Thx, I forget that XmlConfigurator.Configure(); is needed.

Thanks for this! I have a mental block around log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

For me the log is writing in to the file

Thanks for this.I got output.

The order is important, section should be before
