How do display NLog output file (programmatically)?

[amores perros]

In my previous solution, after certain crashes, I put up a message box
offering to display the log.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that with NLog.

I got this far:

                NLog.Config.LoggingConfiguration cfg = new
NLog.Config.LoggingConfiguration();
                foreach (NLog.Target targ in cfg.GetConfiguredNamedTargets())
                {
                        if (targ. // How do I figure out if it is a file target?
// How do I get its fully qualified path, so I can display it?
                }


Is this doable?
If so, how?
If not, do you have any suggestions for me?


Thanks for any ideas.

The simplest way is to do:

FileTarget ft = (FileTarget)NLog.Configuration.FindTargetByName("f")

where "f" is the name of the target you want.

Alternatively you can do it like this:

foreach (Target t in NLog.Configuration.GetConfiguredNamedTargets())
{
    if (t is FileTarget)
    {
         FileTarget ft = t as FileTarget;
         //
    }
}

Doh! Thank you very much.

Yes I managed this, but when I then try to access til target.Filename property i get:

"${basedir}/MyApp.log"

ie. the config file variable is not resolved.

How can I programmatically read the FILE CONTENTS OF THE LOG FILE written by a file target ?
