Register Extension

NLog will only recognize type-alias WebService when loading from NLog.config-file, if having added extension to NLog.config-file:

<extensions>
    <add assembly="NLog.Targets.WebService"/>
</extensions>

Alternative register from code using fluent configuration API:

LogManager.Setup().SetupExtensions(ext => {
   ext.RegisterTarget<NLog.Targets.WebServiceTarget>();
});
