Radovan,

 Myservice.exe=20 has the following:

Onstart=20 and onstop methods

 

If I=20 place the XMlConfiguartor.configure() in any of the methods above, my=20 applications keeps crashing. Is there something I am missing? I am = trying to=20 use your first solution.

Radovan,

         = ;  =20 This is how my application is set up

 

LogUtil.dll

This=20 has some custom logging as well as log4net dll reference and uses a = custom=20 appender to log

 

 

Myservice.exe=20 has the following dll’s that it uses

-         =20 Logutil.dll

-         =20 Dosomething.dl

-         =20 Myservice.exe.app.config

 

Dosomthing.dll=20 instantiates logutil.dll to write the logs.

 

I=20 tried putting your xmlconfigurator.configure in logutil.dll and that = did not=20 work

 

I=20 then tried placing it in dosomething.dll which did not=20 work

 

Placing=20 it in myservice.exe did not produce anything

 

Thoughts/=20 suggestions?

there=20 are 2 option:

1/=20 XmlConfigurator.Configure();

this = configures=20 log4net using app.config file, which must be in this = form:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

   =20 <configSections>

       =20 <section name=3D"log4net" type=3D"log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,=20 log4net" = />

   =20 </configSections>

   =20 <appSettings>

....

   =20 </appSettings>

   =20 <log4net>

....

   =20 </log4net>

</configuration>

This=20 is probably best solution as you have only one config file for both=20 application and log4net.

2/=20 configure log4net using extra XML file

XmlConfigurator.Configure(new=20 System.IO.FileInfo(GetAppPath() + = "log4net.xml"))

.....

public string=20 GetAppPath()

{

string=20 myPath =3D System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;=

int=20 i =3D myPath.LastIndexOf('\\');

return=20 myPath.Remove(i + 1);

}

Both=20 solutions works well with service, but when log4net config is = changed, you=20 must restart your=20 service.
