I don't think this is really a XamlParseException: I think it's a TargetInvocationException which has gotten wrapped in a XamlParseException. Take a look at the ultimate inner exception:

NLog.Config.NLogConfigurationException Message=Exception occured when loading configuration from 'C:\Users\Mohit\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Notepad\Notepad\bin\Debug\NLog.config'

It looks like you have a borked configuration file, possibly due to invalid XML or possibly for some more specific reason.

When you get a mysterious XamlParseException, it's always worth checking the InnerException for a TargetInvocationException (and drilling in from there if there is one). Yes, it is very confusing and misleading!
