How can I g

Answer 1

You could also initialize your Logger by using:

public ILogger Logger { get; set; }

public MyController()
{
     Logger = NullLogger.Instance;
}

Answer 2

A problem is where you are checking it:

 public ILogger Logger
    {
        get { return logger; }
        set { logger = value; }
    }

    public LogicClass1()
    {
        logger.Debug("Here logger is NullLogger!");
    }

The property injection will not happen until after the constructor is run, so checking the property value in the constructor will never show the value you are expecting

Answer 3

I was having the same problem. It was always null.

I managed to solve the problem by injecting the logger in the constructor this way:

public ILogger logger;

public MyController(ILogger logger)
{
    this.logger = logger;

    logger.Info("Something");
}
