Question

I added NLog to my project. Following the instructions I created NLog.config.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <targets>
        <target name="file" xsi:type="File"
            layout="${longdate} ${logger} ${message}" 
            fileName="${basedir}/${shortdate}.log" />
    </targets>

    <rules>
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="file" />
    </rules>
</nlog>

and then just log something.

var logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
logger.Info("xxxx");

With the developer web server it work fine, but when I publish the app to IIS, no logs are created.

Answer 1

Does NLog.config have the property “Copy to Output Directory” set as “Copy always”?
