asp.net MVC 5 project using Nlog Methodcall target has no effect - asp.net-mvc

Question

In the ASP.net MVC 5 project, use Nuget to install Nlog, Nlog.config, Nlog.schema Packages.
Target xsi:type="MethodCall" in the NLog.config file
NLog.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd NLog.xsd"
autoReload="true"
throwExceptions="false"
internalLogLevel="Off" internalLogFile="c:\temp\nlog-internal.log">
<targets>
<target name="mc" xsi:type="MethodCall" className="NlogMethodCallWebApp.Models.NLogHelper, NlogMethodCallWebApp" methodName="LogMethod">
<parameter layout="${longdate}" />
<parameter layout="${uppercase:${level}}" />
<parameter layout="${message}" />
</target>
</targets>
<rules>
<logger name="*" minlevel="Trace,Debug,Info,Warn,Error,Fatal" writeTo="mc" />
</rules>
</nlog>
Execute Debug HomeController Index Action Method
HomeController.cs
using NLog;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace NlogMethodCallWebApp.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
private static Logger logger = NLog.LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
public ActionResult Index()
{
logger.Trace("This is Trace");
logger.Debug("This is Debug");
logger.Info("This is Info");
logger.Warn("This is Warn");
logger.Error("This is Error");
logger.Fatal("This is Fatal");
return View();
}
public ActionResult About()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your application description page.";
return View();
}
public ActionResult Contact()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your contact page.";
return View();
}
}
}
LogMethod set breakpoint in class NLogHelper has no effect
NLogHelper.cs
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace NlogMethodCallWebApp.Models
{
public class NLogHelper
{
/// <summary>
/// c - NLog
/// </summary>
public static void LogMethod(string longdate, string level, string message)
{
Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("D:{0} L:{1} M:{2}", longdate, level, message));
}
}
}
NLog does not execute LogMethod method. Where is the problem?

Answer 1

You loglevel is wrong.
There a multiple possibilities:
minlevel="Trace,Debug,Info,Warn,Error,Fatal" <-- Yours, that wrong
change to:
levels="Trace,Debug,Info,Warn,Error,Fatal"
or
minlevel="Trace"
or you can also use minlevel and maxlevel

Also check that the assembly is inside your output directory (your project must reference this assembly)
