Remarks

The configuration file must be valid XML. It must contain at least one element called log4net that holds the configuration data.

The configuration file will be monitored using a FileSystemWatcher and depends on the behavior of that class.

For more information on how to configure log4net using a separate configuration file, see [M:Configure(FileInfo)].
