This post is about log4net logger implementation in CRM 2011. I will provide details about log4net in CRM Plugins. It is as the same with Web-services and Custom aspx Pages.
1. First we will have a Config file for log4net so that, its configuration/settings can be read and applied to logger.
2. Add log4net.dll to your Plugin.

using log4net;
using log4net.Config;
public class MyPlugin: IPlugin
{
protected static readonly ILog Logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(PublishToGRID));
static MyPlugin()
{
XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(@"D:\Logger\Log4net\Config\log4net.config"));
}
try
{
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
Logger.Info("Plugin Executed");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string ErrorMessage = "Exception Occured in CRM";
Logger.Error(ErrorMessage,ex);
}
After your plugin executed: you will se the log file generated in D drive. containing the following text: Logger.info: 6/15/2014 7:11 p.m Plugin Excuted
