Namespace: log4net.Config
Assembly: log4net (in log4net.dll) Version: 2.0.6.0-.NET 4.0
Syntax
Copy
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use XmlConfigurator.Configure instead of DOMConfigurator.Configure")]
public static void Configure(
	ILoggerRepository repository,
	FileInfo configFile
)

Parameters

repository
Type: log4net.RepositoryILoggerRepository
The repository to configure.
configFile
Type: System.IOFileInfo
The XML file to load the configuration from.
Remarks

DOMConfigurator is obsolete. Use XmlConfigurator instead of DOMConfigurator.

The configuration file must be valid XML. It must contain at least one element called log4net that holds the configuration data.

The log4net configuration file can possible be specified in the application's configuration file (either MyAppName.exe.config for a normal application on Web.config for an ASP.NET application).

Examples
The following example configures log4net using a configuration file, of which the location is stored in the application's configuration file :
C#
Copy
using log4net.Config;
using System.IO;
using System.Configuration;

...

DOMConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["log4net-config-file"]));

In the .config file, the path to the log4net can be specified like this :

Copy
<configuration><appSettings><add key="log4net-config-file" value="log.config" /></appSettings></configuration>
