ASP.NET (non-core)

The NLog.Web-package works with classic ASP.NET MVC with .NET Framework 3.5 - 4.8

• Supported targets for ASP.NET
• Supported layout renderers for ASP.NET

NLog 5.0 requires that NLog.config must include NLog.Web in extensions:

  <!-- enable ASP.NET layout renderers -->
  <extensions>
    <add assembly="NLog.Web"/>
  </extensions>

HTTP module (ASP.NET non-core)

There is a ASP.NET ASP.NET HttpModule that enables NLog to hook BeginRequest and EndRequest events easily.

The NLogHttpModule needs a registration in the web.config:

<system.webServer> 
	<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> 
		<add name="NLog" type="NLog.Web.NLogHttpModule, NLog.Web" />
	</modules>
</system.webServer>
