Log4Net MVC.net and what web config to use

I'm new to using log4net ( remember using it a long time ago .net 2 area) so I did a rookie mistake.

I trying to set it up using resources i found on the net (mainly http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/140911/log-net-Tutorial). But it did not log anything, and I did not get any errors in the Visual Studio  output.

After some time and testing I found that because I had put the configuration part under the Views folder, I have to point to that config file. The reason was that I got an error stating that I can only have one configuration section in the web.config, if I added a configuration section in the root web.config. So then I tried to set the assembly section in the AsseblyInfo file to point to the web.config in the Views folder. Then it worked.

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "View\\Web.Config", Watch=true)]

Getting the script folder in PowerShell

Today I needed to call another script file in the same folder as the main script. After a little searching on the web I found "$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path". "$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path" returns the path to the current script, With that I was able to get the current folder using Get-Item. This is my test scripts: ToRun.ps1: Write-Host $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path $scriptDirectory  = (Get-Item $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path).DirectoryName $scriptName = "HelloWorld.ps1" Write-Host calling $scriptName in $scriptDirectory & ($scriptDirectory + '\' + $scriptName) HelloWorld.ps1: Write-Host "Hello word" After running the script the output was: calling HelloWorld.ps1 in C:\scriptFun Hello word Simple but useful.
