I have a workflow in Microsoft CRM 2011 that fires on a certain field change.
When this workflow fires, it will first check the boolean value of flag: if the value is yes then set it to no otherwise if flag value is no then create another "XYZ" entity.

My problem is: when I change flag value to no it again fires and create another entity "XYZ".

It's happening because your plugin is looping infinitely, as it triggers itself over and over again.

You can prevent the loop using the IExecutionContext.Depth property

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.iexecutioncontext.depth.aspx

IPluginExecutionContext context = IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

if (context.Depth > 1) { return; }

This will cancel your plugin when your depth is deeper than 1.
