Major Description
When you include the line:
<renderer renderingClass="RootNameSpace.Namespace.RendererClass" renderedClass="RootNameSpace.NameSpace.ClassToRender" />
in the configuration file and call:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(New IO.FileInfo(logfile))
in global.asax, you get a TypeLoadException. Log4Net internal debugging outputs the following:
log4net:ERROR OptionConverter: Could not instantiate class [LogLibrary.Log4NetObjRenderers.PdaLogObjRenderer].
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type [LogLibrary.Log4NetObjRenderers.PdaLogObjRenderer]. Tried assembly [log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b44e1d426115821] and all loaded assemblies

Work Around:
1, If you then stop the web server
2, and comment out the <renderer line in the configuration file,
3, start the web service again,
4, then after it has started (global.asax has been processed)
5, uncomment the <renderer line
6, the renderer will now work
