Log4Net is not working with Sql Server 2005 - asp.net-2.0

Question

I want to make Log4Net to enter logs in MS Sql Server 2005. I am using .NET 2.0.
Here is the code till now I have written:
Web.Config File
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings/>
<log4net>
<appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender">
<bufferSize value="1" />
<connectionType value="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, System.Data, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
<connectionString value="Data Source=XYZ;Initial Catalog=ACC;Integrated Security=True" />
<commandText value="INSERT INTO Log ([Date],[Thread],[Level],[Logger],[Message],[Exception]) VALUES (#log_date, #thread, #log_level, #logger, #message, #exception)" />
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#log_date" />
<dbType value="DateTime" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.RawTimeStampLayout" />
</parameter>
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#thread" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="255" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%thread" />
</layout>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#log_level" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="50" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%level" />
</layout>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#logger" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="255" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%logger" />
</layout>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#message" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="4000" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%message" />
</layout>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<parameterName value="#exception" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="2000" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.ExceptionLayout" />
</parameter>
</appender>
</log4net>
Global.asax
<%# Application Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
}
Page_load
try
{
// There is no such Session, this is just to create error
if (Session["userName"].ToString() == "Admin")
{
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
log4net.ILog log =log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
log.Debug("log Debug",ex);
log.Info("log Info",ex);
log.Warn("log Warn",ex);
log.Error("log Error",ex);
log.Fatal("log Fatal",ex);
}
Actually I have tried it by storing lod details in Log folder in my directory, which was working fine. But I want to store information in Sql Server 2005.
Am I missing something? or I have to correct some where.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Unless I made some mistake when I edited your question, then the problem is that you do not reference the appender like this:
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="AdoNetAppender" />
</root>
Some further comments:
You do not need to call the Configure method twice
You do not need an exception to test logging
