Is there a way to configure log4net to print logs both to console and to files during debug?
I am trying to find a way to debug my software efficiently by observing the logs immediately when they happen.
Writing to files is problematic for me for debugging because I don't want to wait until the file is flushed to the disk and then to open it.
Therefore I prefer it to write into console.
What do you suggest?
I added the app.config
file with the additional appended, but I am not being able to show result console.
Following is my app.config configuration:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

You need to have both appenders declared in your <root>
section.
Configure your log4net like this:
<log4net>
<appender name="Console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date %-5level: %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="Log.txt" />
<appendToFile value="false" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="50MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date %-5level[%logger]: %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="Console" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
