can anyone suggest how to configure the log4net for an console app?

Or at least how/where to catch the Application_Start event? (It seams that some calls are required at this moment)

Thanks in advance!

Try writing

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]

in AssemblyInfo.cs

That's it!
