XML
1<?xml version="1.0" ?> 2<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" 3 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> 4 <targets> 5 <target name="msgbox" xsi:type="MessageBox" layout="${longdate}: ${message}" caption="${level}" /> 6 </targets> 7 8 <rules> 9 <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="msgbox" /> 10 </rules> 11</nlog>
