Log4Net works in main thread but not in created thread

Question

In VS2008, C#, I've created a unit test (VS unit test) that calls some code which in turn calls Log4Net and logs some information. This works.

If I create a thread in the unit test to call the same code I'm getting "Failed to parse config file" exception from Log4Net.

Any ideas why it would not be able to parse the config file from the created thread but can from the main thread?

Answer 1

Log4Net is unfortunately full of bugs and not released for like 3 years now... I have been forced to build my own logging framework because of this.

Answer 2

Log4Net appears to use thread-local storage.
