Using log4net on my project within a self-hosted WCF application Z

2. ADD reference to Log4net.dll to our console Service host project (we application entry point)

4. Add the following line to the above project's AssemblyInfo.cs file (allows a custom log4net config file to be specified, W Hich log4net'll "watch" for updates. Quick, but maybe a bit dirty.)

   [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "log4net.config", Watch = true)]

6. LOG 4 net Config
   [Assembly:log4net. Config.xmlconfigurator (Watch=true)]

10. ADD log4net.config file to console project and copy it to the output directory (file properties: "Copy to output directory ")

12. ADD Log4net.dll reference to all projects where you require logging

14. Declare the logger as private static member of the classes where you need logging:

    
     log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

16. 
    

    Log where required:

18. Logger.Info("Starting console service host");
