I want to put the log file in a given path. It is in app.config in a class library project, say I want to save the log in "C:\Test\log.txt" or a network path.

How to do it?
Currently I have

C#

<targets>
    <target  xsi:type="Console"
             name="console"
             layout="${shortdate} ${level} ${message}" />
    <target name="logfile" xsi:type="File"
    fileName="${specialfolder:folder=ApplicationData}/LogFile.txt"/>
  </targets>

Did you try replacing ${specialfolder:folder=ApplicationData} with C:\Test?

I am not sure if I can't do it. As I have not found the document for it. Such as "\\" or single "\" or other style etc.

By the format already in the config: use single slash. If the initial c:/whatever path doesn't fly, try with file:///c:/whatever

We can just add the prefix to it.
