How can I query the path to an NLog log file?

Question

I\'ve configured a file target for NLog as follows:

Answer 1

You could use nLog's api inside of code instead of an xml configuration file. Then, in your application, you assign the log's file path to a variable, and use that variable as the target's filename. You can access that variable, OR change it anytime you like (my snippet, here, is defined inside of a class).

Private MainNlogConfig As New LoggingConfiguration()
Dim localrule As New LoggingRule(*, LogLevel.Info, locallogtarget)
MainNlogConfig..AddTarget("file", locallogtarget)

With locallogtarget
    .Layout = "${longdate} ${logger} ${message}"
    .FileName = appdir & appName & ".log"  '----->LOOK HERE!
End With
LogManager.Configuration = MainNlogConfig
