log4net throwing exception?

Question

I am using log4net mechanism for logging.

and im logging like

  private static readonly ILog Logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Functions));
  Logger.Info($"Starting to process item for approval for");

but some times its throwing exception

    System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data\a0b72ce4-1d5d-483c-aff7-aabd43beb80f' because it is being used by another process

may be due to 2 users accessing the same file. is there any way to fix this?

Answer 1

Your problem can not be in log4net. THis is because log4net does not throw exceptions. If it does you have found a serious bug. I would guess you have simplefied your code and are calling a different function to fill the parameters for the log statement. That is throwing the exception.
