I want to maintain an eventlog for each user in my asp.net application. This application uses
custom code using sessions for all authentication purpose. I want to log events like login, logoff, invalid password attempts, account expired etc. Should I use a logging framework or a database table? Any examples would be helpful.

Is log4net the right choice for making logs of user activities like my requirement? Is it only for use with application errors etc. ?

You can save every activity of your system, not errors only.

C# provide you Environment library to get all details of the system. Similarly you cab use browser object to retrieve browser history.
