NLog, UWP - write logs to System.Diagnostic.Debug

How to configure NLog in UWP project to show logs in Visual Studio Window:Output?

Note that in UWP apps Console.WriteLine("hello") doesn't work.

To write in VisualStudio Window:Output you have to use Debug.WriteLine("hello") from System.Diagnostic.

I use below (almost default) NLog config.
Log to file works nice. Log to console doesn't work.

var config = new NLog.Config.LoggingConfiguration();

var storageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var logfile = new NLog.Targets.FileTarget("logfile") { FileName = storageFolder.Path + @"\file.txt" };
var logconsole = new NLog.Targets.ConsoleTarget("logconsole");

config.AddRule(LogLevel.Debug, LogLevel.Fatal, logconsole);
config.AddRule(LogLevel.Debug, LogLevel.Fatal, logfile);

NLog.LogManager.Configuration = config;

UWP won't support console.

You could write to the Trace target. This will use the System.Diagnostics.Trace - which is almost the same as System.Diagnostics.Debug - both are visible in Visual Studio.

var traceTarget = new NLog.Targets.TraceTarget("target1");
