nlog richtextbox - Target cannot be found: 'RichTextBox'

@mikhail-barg any idea about this? I checked the NLog code and it looks well

[DerekSMorin]

NOTE: I only have the problem when I try to create and configured the target in the Nlog.config file. Adding the code was my workaround - and it is working ok. My target in the config file used to work in an old version of NLog.

@DerekSMorin what we're the previous versions before upgrading?

I think there is something going wrong with auto loading the NLog.Windows.Forms extension (for using in the xml config)

[304NotModified]

@DerekSMorin do you have <extensions in your config (should not be needed)

[DerekSMorin]

It was NLOG 2.0

[DerekSMorin]

I do not have <extensions in my config.

[304NotModified]

Are there assemblyBindings in your app.config?

[DerekSMorin]

There are assemblyBindings, but nothing related to nlog.

[DerekSMorin]

I suppose someone could try a minimal app with a richtextbox and the nuget packages and try to duplicate.

[304NotModified]

The internal log should mention the NLog version and "auto loading" . Can you check for it?

[304NotModified]

Yeah now on mobile. Can check this weekend. But I think there is an old NLog binary stuck in your project /solution.

[304NotModified]

Can you check the version of NLog.dll in your bin folder? (all versions please)

[DerekSMorin]

In my bin folder it says 4.3.2551.0 I'm not sure what you mean by "bin map"

[DerekSMorin]

There is no rush for me, I am using the code for now.

I suppose someone could try a minimal app with a richtextbox and the nuget packages and try to duplicate.

@DerekSMorin We actually have something that would do as a "minimal" app — https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Windows.Forms/tree/master/TestApplication
I was checking it when making changes from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3, and it worked fine. Could you please try comparing your nlog.config with one from the TestApplication?

Or maybe just confirm that TestApplication is working for you and then add parts of your nlog.config there untill it stops working?

[mikhail-barg]

@DerekSMorin Could it be that you are also using the AsyncWarpper around the RTB target in your config file (as in the code sample)? If yes, than could it be that in your rule

<logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="file,rtb" />

you are referring to the inner RTB target instead of outer AsyncWrapper target?

[mikhail-barg]

TestNLogWinForms.zip

Here's a "minimal" project with RTB target wrapped in AsyncWrapper. "Works For Me" (tm).
See if you could find a meaningful difference.

[304NotModified]

I think this is working. If not, let us know!

Closing for now.

PS: it sound to me like a wrong updated package / or using two (compatible) versions in one solution

I believe the problem is the way the project is published.
I experience the same problem when publish the project with 'PublishSingleFile' property set to true. I will create a new Issue Thread for this.
