NLog GetCurrentClassLogger() NullReferenceException using StructureMap (Full Trust)

It seems like NLog can't use reflection for GetCurrentClassLogger(), even though my MVC 3 app is deployed in a Full Trust environment on IIS7. I'm using StructureMap 2.6.1 and the problem seems to appear sporadically between deploys. I can't figure out why, though I don't think StructureMap is causing it.

Bootstrapper class:

public static class Bootstrapper
{
    public static void ConfigureStructureMap()
    {
        ObjectFactory.Initialize(Init);
    }

    private static void Init(IInitializationExpression x)
    {
        x.AddRegistry(new DBServiceRegistry());
        x.AddRegistry(new MyRegistry());
    }
}

Registry class:

public class MyRegistry : Registry
{
    public MyRegistry()//HttpContext context)
    {
        For<ILogger>().Use<NLogLogger>();
        For<IUserRepository>().Use<SqlUserRepository>();
    }
}

Everything works great on my machine. Why am I getting a System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when deploying?

Turns out it's not a trust issue, but an IoC issue. Thanks to an NInject solution for steering me in the right direction.

Solution

For your logging wrapper, use a constructor that accepts a string parameter:

public class NLogLogger : ILogger
{
    private Logger _logger;

    public NLogLogger(string currentClassName)
    {
        _logger = LogManager.GetLogger(currentClassName);
    }
    ...
}

NLog StructureMap Config:

For<ILogger>().Use<NLogLogger>()
    .Ctor<string>("currentClassName")
    .Is(x => x.BuildStack.Root.RequestedType.FullName);
