Can you please help us and provide guidance regarding detailed steps to upload document through our application to Salesforce Account.

Have you read this article yet?  https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Consuming_Force.com_SOAP_and_REST_Web_Services_from_.NET_Applications (https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Consuming_Force.com_SOAP_and_REST_Web_Services_from_.NET_Applications" target="_blank)

That goes through a good explanation of the Salesforce SOAP and REST APIs, which is what you would use to connect to Salesforce with to push your object to the Attachment or Document object structure.

This is also a great article as well:  https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Integrating_Force.com_with_Microsoft_.NET (https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Integrating_Force.com_with_Microsoft_.NET" target="_blank)
