I think I figured it out. I think = there were 2 versions of the log4net DLL. One in the GAC, and one in the same directory as the exe. The exe was using one version while everything = else was using another. I removed the dll from the GAC made some changes and so = far it seems to be working. Thanks to those who = responded.

Just a thought, since you = are declaring the log member in the dll class as static, it might be = getting instantiated before the configuration has run. Why not either = make it property

protecte= d static = log4net.ILog log
{

return log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("EngineTasksFactory");
}

or just declare it locally in the method.

I have applications that have multiple assemblies all working as you = would expect.

Hello,

I have an issue with log4net that I was sure was not = an issue before. I have a project which is made up of a few other = projects. There’s an exe and 4 other dlls. Logging from the exe works while = logging from the dlls does not. Like I say, I know this has worked before. = I’ve read thru the documentation and everything looks identical. Does anyone = see what I might be doing wrong here or know what the cause may be? = Thanks.
