log4net properties set from code not used in log.conf

I am trying to configure a log4net appender to write the log file to the users application data in subfolder.

I tried the following config + code:

  <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <file value="${APPDATA}/%property{LogName}/Logging/log.txt" />

and before I configure log4net in code, I set the property.

GlobalContext.Properties["LogName"] = "TV Show Manager";
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(path));

If I replace %property{LogName} with the hard coded string 'TV Show Manager', it works fine.

What did I do wrong?
