NLog.AzureAppendBlob.Standard 1.0.2

An NLog target using Microsoft Azure Storage Append Blobs With .NET Standard 2.0.

How To Use

Install the NLog.AzureAppendBlob.Standard package from NuGet. If you use NLog 4.x or higher, NLog will automatically load the extension assembly. Otherwise, put the following in your NLog configuration:

<nlog>
    <extensions>
        <add assembly="NLog.AzureAppendBlob.Standard" />
    </extensions>
</nlog>

If still not work, you can try to Register manually (choose one) in your application start. e.g. main(), app_start().

1. Target.Register<NLog.AzureAppendBlob.Standard.AzureAppendBlobTarget>("AzureAppendBlob"); //generic

2. ConfigurationItemFactory.Default.Targets.RegisterDefinition("AzureAppendBlob", typeof(NLog.AzureAppendBlob.Standard.AzureAppendBlobTarget)); //old syntax
