Loading problem with Custom Appender and GAC

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have a custom appender for log4net. It works fine when all Assemblies are located in the </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">folder of the application. When log4net and my custom appender is in the GAC I get the following error when testing my application:</font>
