How can I successfully configure Common.Logging?
Solution 1
The problem seems to be that the default configuration added by the Common.Logging NuGet package (v2.0.0) is incorrect.
The runtime section in web.config needs to be changed to the following:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Common.Logging" publicKeyToken="af08829b84f0328e" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65535.65535.65535.65535" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
Note the oldVersion value. This seems to be what was causing the error (at least based on the scenario that I outlined in the question above).
See also this related GitHub issue: Possible Issues with Common.Logging / Common.Logging.NLog20 NuGet packages.
Solution 2
Worked for me by using
<factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog2">
instead of
<factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog20">
notice 20 vs 2 at the end.

I'm attempting to use NuGet packages to configure Common.Logging to use NLog2 in an ASP.Net MVC project. Based on the information provided at the URLs below, I believe my loggers are configured properly, but I continue to get configuration errors.
Common.Logging Configuration Instructions
I've added the following to web.config as per the instructions:
<configuration> <configSections> <section name="nlog" type="NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog"/> <sectionGroup name="common"> <section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <common> <logging> <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog20"> <arg key="configType" value="INLINE" /> </factoryAdapter> </logging> </common> <nlog 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="e:\logfile.txt" layout="${date:format=yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss} ${message}" /> </targets> <rules> <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="logfile" /> </rules> </nlog> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Common.Logging" publicKeyToken="af08829b84f0328e" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration>
As far as I can tell, this is everything I should need to do but I'm getting configuration errors when I try to run the web project...
Parser Error Message: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for common/logging: Unable to create type 'Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog20'
Can anyone offer suggestions on what's missing or in error?

Nate-Wilkins about 10 yearsHmm I don't think that exists - you must have logging assembly failure turned on (not really sure)

PUG over 9 yearsThis is not really an answer rather superstitious , below given: Unable to create type 'Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog2'
