I would like to put a switch in my web.config that can configure and will let
me logsinformation to a textfile. Where can I find an example for that?

The Enterprise Library, which is a free download from Microsoft, has logging
capability, driven from a config file. The latest version also has a policy
injection block, which is useful for specifying when a particular message
should be logged (type of error, etc.) and is attribute driven. There is
plenty of documentation with the block, should you go this route.

Last time I looked at the Enterprise Library, there was no way to log to an
email account, which I would prefer.

I am not sure if it is built in (will have to look), but you can more easily
extend the block today than you could before. Log4Net will log to email,
with the SMTPAppender:

http://logging.apache.org/log4net/

For config, see:
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html

roll down to SMTPAppender

Look into ASP.Net "Health Monitoring" and "Custom Event Providers"
