private static log4net.ILog Log { get; set; }
ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(classtype));      //type of class
            log.Debug("Debug message");
            log.Warn("Warn message");
            log.Error("Error message");
            log.Fatal("Fatal message");
private static log4net.ILog Log { get; set; }


ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(classtype));      //type of class


            log.Debug("Debug message");

            log.Warn("Warn message");

            log.Error("Error message");

            log.Fatal("Fatal message");

Step 5 - Run your project. And check that in c: drive log.txt file created and log entry done like this.







Note: After done every step if you not able to see any log in c: drive. That means your application don't have administrator permission.

You can see such type of message - "ErrorCode: GenericFailure. Unable to acquire lock on file C:\log.txt. Access to the path 'C:\log.txt' is denied."

Now start your visual studio as administrator or create log.txt file into c: drive and give him administrator persmission.
