I use a WebBrowser control and navigate to a given address. but I don't know how to receive the token for user. If I have made a mistake please tell me how to fix that.

As of June 2011, Windows Live ID supports OAUTH 2.0 and should enable you to do that (read more about it). WPF code example can be found at https://github.com/liveservices/LiveSDK/tree/master/Samples/CSharpDesktop.
