This type is not safe for multithreaded operations.

#### Remarks

The log4net section of the configuration file needs to have a section handler registered. This is the section handler used. It simply returns the XML element that is the root of the section.

#### Example

Example of registering the log4net section handler :

    [XML]
    <configuration>
        <configSections>
            <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
        </configSections>
        <log4net>
            log4net configuration XML goes here
        </log4net>
    </configuration>

#### Requirements

Namespace: log4net.Config

Assembly: log4net (in log4net.dll)
