            Each application has a configuration file. This has the
            same name as the application with '.config' appended.
            This file is XML and calling this function prompts the
            configurator to look in that file for a section called
            <span class="code">log4net</span> that contains the configuration data.
            </p><p>
            To use this method to configure log4net you must specify 
            the <a href="T_log4net_Config_Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler.htm">Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler</a> section
            handler for the <span class="code">log4net</span> configuration section. See the
            <a href="T_log4net_Config_Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler.htm">Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler</a> for an example.
