Hi Vikram,

following is the contents of my App.Config -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHa ndler, log4net" />
</configSections>
<log4net debug="false">
<appender name="LogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender,log4net" >
<param name="File" value="c:\\Log4NetConsole.txt" />
<param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c [%x] <%X{auth}> -
%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<priority value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</root>
<category name="Test"><priority value="ALL" /></category>
</log4net>
</configuration>

And my class file contents are -

using System;
using log4net;

namespace Log4NetConsoleApp
{

class Class1
{
private ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger("Test");

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.Configure();
Class1 obj = new Class1();
obj.log("Testing");

}

private void log(string str)
{
logger.Info(str);
}
}
}

This works for me.

Thanks Kaustav.
I was missing "log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.Configure(); "
statement.
