Support for .NET Framework 4 Client Profile in NLog 2.0

Jarek Kowalski — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:46:06 +0000

.NET Framework 4 client profile is a subset of .NET framework used for client programming. It’s a smaller download, because it does not have some server-specific assemblies such as System.Web.dll, compilers and design-time components.

One of the most of commonly used targets in NLog is the File target. In the simplest case it is used to write entries to a single log file, but it supports many more advanced scenarios. In this post I’m going to explain how to get NLog to write to multiple log files based on [...]

I have spent last couple months doing significant refactoring of NLog v2 code base with the goal to improve long-term maintainability, extensibility, usability and testability. During that process I discovered (with great help from FxCop) and decided to fix some design issues and align the codebase with .NET Design Guidelines. Fixing some issues required me to introduce [...]

Wrapper Layout Renderers are coming to NLog 2.0

Jarek Kowalski — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 03:01:40 +0000

NLog v2 branch has a new cool feature called Wrapper Layout Renderers which would help me restructure code to make it more maintainable and testable. I’d like to hear your opinion about it. What are Wrapper Layout Renderers (WLRs)? Similar to wrapper targets, WLRs can modify output of other layout renderers, by doing textual transformations like: uppercase/lowercase conversion padding, [...]
