SharpDevelop Community

Hi All,

 I am using log4net in my application but SharpDevelop is not showing the output for my ConsoleAppender when I run the app. In MS Visual studio the output for the ConsoleAppender shows up in the Output window.

 Does anyone have any suggestions?

 
Thanks,

Serge

 

 I have the same problem, have you successfully fixed this?

Otherwise log4net is working fine, logging into the FileAppender 

The Output window in SharpDevelop only shows the output of compilers and other tools, not of the running app. Set your app to compile as Console Application to give it it's own console window; or use a log4net appender that writes to System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine if you want the log to appear in SharpDevelop's output window.

Cool, that worked.

For the poor soul, add the following to App.config:

 ...

    <appender name="TraceAppender" type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
 

...
    <system.diagnostics>
      <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="3" />
    </system.diagnostics>  

...

  <root>
      <level value="DEBUG" />

        ... 

      <appender-ref ref="TraceAppender" />
    </root>
