Continuing my current mission to NuGet-ify my current utility libraries, and building on my Introducing Caliburn.Micro.Logging post, I have now released Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net which integrates log4net into Caliburn.Micro. There were no code changes to this from the code in my earlier post How To Do Logging with Caliburn.Micro, so it should be very easy to migrate to the NuGet package.
How to Use Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net
Using NuGet for Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net
The NuGet package id is Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net. So you can install the package from the NuGet package manager shell using the following command:
PM> Install-Package Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net
or if you are more GUI minded, use the Add Package Reference dialog.
Getting the Code for Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net
You can find the code for Caliburn.Micro.Logging on github at https://github.com/dbuksbaum/Caliburn.Micro.Logging.
Configuring Your Code to use Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net
Once you have added the Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net NuGet package to your project, just modify the bootstrapper by adding a static constructor that sets the GetLog delegate.
1 static AppBootstrapper() 2 { 3 LogManager.GetLog = type => new log4netLogger(type); 4 }
That is the only change to complete integration, but log4net still has some required configuration. Check out my earlier post How To Do Logging with Caliburn.Micro to see what you need to do if you are unfamiliar with log4net.
Summary
The small refactoring done in Caliburn.Micro.Logging has made the creation of this package trivial. I hope you find it as useful as I do.
In the meantime, if you have suggestions, comments, or critiques, please add a comment below, add an issue to the issue tracker, or send me email using the blog comment form.
Hello,
I am using your package to integrate log4net with Caliburn Micro in my WPF Application. I do have a few questions on using this package-
1) So I assume that with this new package, I dont need to create Log4netLogger class as shown in your sample? Please correct me if I am wrong.
2) How do I use this logger in my bootstrapper? I am trying to write unhandled exceptions to log in my bootstrapper.
3) I noticed that this logging seems to work fine only on my machine. But when I deploy this application, I dont see any logs getting created. Is there any configuration step I should be taking care of?
Appreciate your help!

I think you’ve forgotten to make Caliburn.Micro.Logging.log4net declare it’s dependency on Caliburn.Micro.Logging in the package manifest.
