Do I need to recompile my .NET application to use Nodinite Log4Net Appender?
No—config-only changes, zero recompilation required. Add Nodinite.Log4Net.Appender DLL to application bin folder (or install NuGet package), edit log4net.config file to add Nodinite appender configuration, deploy config file to production servers. Log4Net framework hot-reloads configuration files automatically (monitors file changes, reloads appenders without application restart). Exception: If log4net.config is embedded in app.config or web.config (less common), application restart required after config change. Best practice: Use standalone log4net.config file (referenced in AssemblyInfo.cs: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "log4net.config", Watch = true)]) for hot-reload capability.
