  Log4Net object reference not set ?

  Mar 12, 2016 09:39 PM|david38ni|LINK

  I am getting a strange error when using log4net but in my web app its crashing saying object not created. I am unitizing the logger with the following

  log4net.ILog logger = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(_default));
  

   

    <log4net>
    <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
            
      <param name="File" value="C:\Users\David.Buckley\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ApertureNet\ApertureNetSolution\ApertureNet\ApertureNet\logs\ApertureNet.log" />
      <!--<param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>-->
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %m%n" />
              </layout>
          </appender>
   
   
          <root>
              <level value="All" />
              <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
          </root>
  </log4net>

  Hi david38ni,

  david38ni

  I am getting a strange error when using log4net but in my web app its crashing saying object not created.

  According to your description, i'm not sure what line of code you have caused the problem. So please debug your code and find the line caused this problem in your code.

  <param name="File" value="C:\Users\David.Buckley\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ApertureNet\ApertureNetSolution\ApertureNet\ApertureNet\logs\ApertureNet.log" /> <!--<param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>--> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="All" /> <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" /> </root> </log4net>

  It seems that the use method of the log4net is not right. You could refer to the following links to learn the correct way of using log4net.
