| This attribute may only be used at the assembly scope and can only |

| </p><p> |
| Use this attribute to configure the <a href="T_log4net_Config_XmlConfigurator.htm" target="">XmlConfigurator</a> |
| without calling one of the <span class="nolink">[M:XmlConfigurator.Configure()]</span> |
| methods. |
| </p><p> |
| If neither of the <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFile.htm" target="">ConfigFile</a> or <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFileExtension.htm" target="">ConfigFileExtension</a> |
| properties are set the configuration is loaded from the application's .config file. |
| If set the <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFile.htm" target="">ConfigFile</a> property takes priority over the |
| <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFileExtension.htm" target="">ConfigFileExtension</a> property. The <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFile.htm" target="">ConfigFile</a> property |
| specifies a path to a file to load the config from. The path is relative to the |
| application's base directory; <img src="./../icons/online_icon.gif" class="OH_offlineIcon" alt="Online" title="Online" /><a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y6sdkxe2" target="_blank">BaseDirectory</a>. |
| The <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFileExtension.htm" target="">ConfigFileExtension</a> property is used as a postfix to the assembly file name. |
| The config file must be located in the application's base directory; <img src="./../icons/online_icon.gif" class="OH_offlineIcon" alt="Online" title="Online" /><a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y6sdkxe2" target="_blank">BaseDirectory</a>. |
| For example in a console application setting the <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFileExtension.htm" target="">ConfigFileExtension</a> to |
| <span class="code">config</span> has the same effect as not specifying the <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFile.htm" target="">ConfigFile</a> or |
| <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_ConfigFileExtension.htm" target="">ConfigFileExtension</a> properties. |
| </p><p> |
| The <a href="P_log4net_Config_XmlConfiguratorAttribute_Watch.htm" target="">Watch</a> property can be set to cause the <a href="T_log4net_Config_XmlConfigurator.htm" target="">XmlConfigurator</a> |
| to watch the configuration file for changes. |

| Log4net will only look for assembly level configuration attributes once. |
| When using the log4net assembly level attributes to control the configuration |
| of log4net you must ensure that the first call to any of the |
| <a href="T_log4net_Core_LoggerManager.htm" target="">LoggerManager</a> methods is made from the assembly with the configuration |
| attributes. |
| </p><p> |
| If you cannot guarantee the order in which log4net calls will be made from |
| different assemblies you must use programmatic configuration instead, i.e. |
| call the <span class="nolink">[M:XmlConfigurator.Configure()]</span> method directly. |
