ThisClass

Exposes class and type information as constants in the ThisClass class using source generators powered by Roslyn, inspired by ThisAssembly.

ThisClass

Add the ThisClassAttribute to generate type information for a class.

[ThisClass]
partial class Demo
{
    public Demo()
    {
        Logger.Info($"Hello from {ThisClass.FullName}"); // SampleApp.Demo
    }
}

NLog.Extensions.ThisClass

Create class loggers without using reflection.

using SomeNamespace;

namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    ...
    namespace AnotherNamespace
    {
        using SomeOtherNamespace;
        [ClassLoggerLazy]
        partial class Demo2<T> : SomeInterface<T> where T : SomeOtherInterface
        {
            public static void SayHello()
            {
                Logger.Info("Hello");
            }

            [ClassLogger]
            internal partial class NestedClass : SomeInterface<SomeOtherInterface>
            {
            }
        }
    }
}

Looks like this behind the scenes
