can I pass a custom property to NLOG and output to file?

Question

EDIT 4: \"From\" seems to be a reserved word in NLog. Changing it \"FromID\" worked. this is an awesome way to pass variables to NLog and still keep your code clean !!!! TH

Answer 1

Use MDLC Layout Renderer

MappedDiagnosticsLogicalContext.Set("PropertyName", "PropertyValue"); MappedDiagnosticsLogicalContext.Set("PropertyName2", "AnotherPropertyValue");

In your nlog config:

${mdlc:item=PropertyName} ${mdlc:item=PropertyName2}
