NDLC allows one to give a scope name for an operation that can be async. When the scope begins then it automatically captures a timestamp. This can be used to show duration of the active scope.

Platforms Supported: All

Introduced in NLog 4.5

NLog 5.0 introduces ScopeContext that unifies MDLC + MDC into a single context.

See also NLog Context.
