What Is Log4Net assembly

[Former Member]

Hi

As soon as i drag and drop crystal report viewer, the log4net assembly is being added to web.config along with some crystal report related assemblies.

This is the exact line in web.config file:

        <add assembly="log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

Please help me know, what is this assembly and  what it does. I've not found any relevant info on web about this.

Thank You.

Hello,

Since you are new to CR I suggest searching first, lots of info on the error and how to make it work.

Hi

I did not get any error regarding log4net dll. All i need is, why do we use that assembly. And as u suggested, made a search on it. i could see info to solve it but not what it is.

log4net is not a CR file. It is an Microsoft file that can be used for logging your application. Google 'log4net', lots of info on how to use it and why MS created it.

Thanks for saying log4net is not relevant to Crystal Reports. This assembly is being added to web.config as i drag and drop CR viewer in webpage, misled here.

Yeah - understood. I said I know what's going on there, I'd be lying . . A while back I did a bit of research on this and I did find out that the viewer has a reference (as does the .shared assembly) to the log4net dll and that is probably why the entry into the config file. Why the reference? No idea.

Happy coding,
