Hi Jim,

That it takes 50 seconds to return sounds quite strange… I’m afraid I have no tips for you now, it’s over 2 years since I wrote this post and I don’t have the project to test the behavior. I’m sure that it did not take that much time in the project I used it.

You can try to post your issue to stackoverflow.com and see if you get lucky there.

Cheers,
Per Ola

Per:

I am incorporating log4net into a project using Win CE 6.00 and .NET compact framework 3.5. I have the following code in Program.cs

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName);

string configFile = path + @”\LoggingConfiguration.xml”;

if (File.Exists(configFile)) {
XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(configFile));
}

The call to XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(configFile)); takes about 50 seconds to return. A subsequent call to:

log.Info(status);

takes about 25 seconds to complete. Do you have any idea (or even a guess) as to why this would occur?

Thanks!

Jim

Hi Axel,
I have not been using InternalDebugging on mobile devices, but it should be possible to send the message to an attached debugger (f.ex. a file).

Have a look at Apache log4net FAQ: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html
Look a the section: How do I enable log4net internal debugging?

I hope that will point you in the right direction.

Hi Per,

everything works fine – thank you.
I want also to use internal logging by

log4net.Util.LogLog.InternalDebugging = true;

It works, but the output go in the mobile apps to the explorer, which is visible to the user.
Do you have any idea how to avoid that?

Best regards
Axel

Hi anurag,
You can use the dll for CF 1.0

I have added “using log4net.Config;” at the top of my class so I can access XmlConfigurator directly without prefixing it with the namespace.
I forgot to mention that in the code example.
Thanx

Log4Net Configuration Loading has to be corrected to

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(path));
