You will need to use OAuth. Take a look at this article (http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php?title=Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com&oldid=51462).

To make this easier, use the Force.com Toolkits for .NET. (http://blogs.developerforce.com/developer-relations/2014/01/announcing-the-salesforce-toolkits-for-net.html) Syntax is straightforward:

var auth = new AuthenticationClient();
await auth.UsernamePasswordAsync("YOURCONSUMERKEY", "YOURCONSUMERSECRET", "YOURUSERNAME", "YOURPASSWORD");
