Just for the case that somebody produces one day the same error.
In the starting section of the NLog.config file Visual Studio tells me (with a warning) that it cannot find the NLog.xsd File
<?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"
That is the reason why I cannot use intellisense while editing the config file. Although NLog is installed with the config section and all files are present in the project folder the error persists. Why?
I fixed the same issue by downloading the schema from "http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" then saving it to my project directory and adding it to the project ...
Then the warnings went away.
