How do I configure log4net in a C# application?

To configure log4net in a C# application, you need to add the log4net package via NuGet, then create a configuration file.

What should I include in the configuration file?

You should include the log4net settings such as appenders, log levels, and the layout format in the configuration file.

Can you give me an example of a log4net configuration file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

<log4net>
  <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
    </layout>
  </appender>
  <root>
    <level value="DEBUG" />
    <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
  </root>
</log4net>
