Hi,
Thanks for the example and explanation you’ve provided.

I did the same you mentioned but I have a problem.

I have a windows service, i went to the App.config and added the needed:

and in the cs class:

i added the using:
using log4net;

and in the class i added:
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program));

then in each method in this i added:

log.info(“entering method x”);

Result: When installing the windows service, an Exception is thrown:
TypeInitializationException
Usually this exception occurs when there’s sthg wrong in the app.config file.

Also on Build, the following messages are displayed :
