Question

I am developing a log4net using CF 3.5 VS 2008 on windows mobile 6.

I have used log4net before in my windows xp applications, and I always put the configuration in the app.config file.

However, this is my first time using log4net with CF3.5. And I have noticed there is no app.config file, and when I try to add a new item there is no template for one. Am I missing something here?

If 3.5 doesn’t have a app.config file. Where can I put my log4net configuration? I would like to log4net using the file appender and save the log in the directory where the application is executing from.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Compact framework does not support app.config files but you can emulate such behavior.

Create a xml with setting and then read content of that file.

I found this workaround that work for me:
