Setting up Logging (w/ .NET Host, Serilog, and File Logging) - EASY WPF (.NET 5)

Learn how to setup logging in a WPF application. In WPF, the best destination to write logs is to a file. However, Microsoft does not provide a mechanism to write logs to a file. That said, I also demonstrate how to leverage third-party logging providers, in this case Serilog, to write logs to a file. I go over a few useful configuration options for logging, but this tutorial focuses on setting up the logging rather than all the amazing and advanced configuration options.
