[2.0.17]Bug on Util.LogLog ctor.

[ylu0105]

static LogLog()
{
#if !NETCF
  try
  {
    InternalDebugging = OptionConverter.ToBoolean(SystemInfo.GetAppSetting("log4net.Internal.Debug"), false);
    QuietMode = OptionConverter.ToBoolean(SystemInfo.GetAppSetting("log4net.Internal.Quiet"), false);
    EmitInternalMessages = OptionConverter.ToBoolean(SystemInfo.GetAppSetting("log4net.Internal.Emit"), true);
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    // If an exception is thrown here then it looks like the config file does not
    // parse correctly.
    //
    // We will leave debug OFF and print an Error message
    Error(typeof(LogLog), "Exception while reading ConfigurationSettings. Check your .config file is well formed XML.", ex);
  }
#endif
}

Because the SystemInfo.GetAppSetting method may cause an exception, it can lead to the failure of the QuiteMode property setting for the user.
It is recommended to set the default value of QuiteMode to true.

@ylu0105 What is the problem you're trying to solve?

@ylu0105 What is the problem you're trying to solve?

In order to enable native C++ to use log4net,I created a CLR encapsulation library for .net 8. I only use 'log4net.config' to configure the logs.So when the log4net trying to read settings from 'app.config' which not exsits in my c++ project，it cause an internal exception "Exception while reading ConfigurationSettings. Check your .config file is well formed XML."
I have tried to set LogLog::QuiteMode (true) to disable exception message output，bug it not work because of the above reason.

@ylu0105 thanks. That makes the problem much clearer.
Could you update to 3.2.0?
The bug will be there, too. But 2.0.17 is no longer supported (see https://logging.apache.org/log4net/versioning.html) and we can only deliver fixes for 3.x.

Yes, Looking forward to the new version.

@ylu0105 I'm trying to reproduce your problem, but my application works.

I have a native x64 application (Delphi) hosting a .net 8 runtime.
I have no config file, so ConfigurationManager falls back to machine.config and returns null.

After upgrading to version 3.2,new excecption occurred. "The type initializer for 'log4net.Core.LoggerManager' threw an exception."

My code

using namespace log4net;
using namespace log4net::Repository;

ILoggerRepository^ repository = LogManager::GetRepository();
if (!repository->Configured)
{
  String^ configPath = Path::Combine(AppDomain::CurrentDomain->BaseDirectory, "log4net.config");
  if (File::Exists(configPath))
    Config::XmlConfigurator::ConfigureAndWatch(repository, gcnew FileInfo(configPath));
  else
    Config::BasicConfigurator::Configure(repository);
}
