log4net one file per run

by

I assume that the application should create only one log file every time it runs, so you do not need a rolling file appender (though my solution would apply for rolling file appenders as well):

<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
    <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="c:\temp\App-%date{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss}.log" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%2thread] %-5level - %message%newline" />
    </layout>
</appender>

(Obviously you can use other your own layout and other settings for the file appender.)
