Get log4net log file in C#

Question

This is my configuration for log4net:

<log4net>     <appender name="MyLogger" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">         <file value="MyLog.log" />         <appendToFile value="true" />          <rollingStyle value="Size"/>         <maxSizeRollBackups value="20"/>         <maximumFileSize value="1000KB"/>         <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss},%p,%m%n" />         </layout>     </appender>     <root>         <level value="DEBUG" />         <appender-ref ref="MyLogger" />     </root> </log4net> 

In C# I'm trying to get the name of the log file (which is MyLog.log). I googled and tried many things but failed to do so. Any help?

Thanks!

Solution is quite easy in your situation; just use this code:

var rootAppender = ((Hierarchy)LogManager.GetRepository())                                          .Root.Appenders.OfType<FileAppender>()                                          .FirstOrDefault();  string filename = rootAppender != null ? rootAppender.File : string.Empty;
