Nlog not creating file relative to website project

asp.net, nlog, webforms

Solution

We figured it out.

Add `${basedir}` to the filename

filename="${basedir}/log.txt"

Problem

I am using a website project, I added Nlog from Nuget, and used the following NLog configuration : ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <nlog autoReload="true" throwExceptions="true" xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <targets> <target name="logfile" xsi:type="File" fileName="log.txt" /> </targets> <rules> <logger name="*" minlevel="Info" writeTo="logfile" /> </rules> </nlog> ``` I ran ProcessMonitor and it shows that Nlog is trying to create log.txt in the IISExpress folder instead of my website project folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\log.txt How can I make NLog put my log file, `log.txt`, in my website project's folder instead of the IISExpress folder?
