This should be easy to do in ASP.NET. I'm not sure about WinForms.
Essentially, in ASP.NET you just need to make sure that you're site requires
SSL and you require client certificates. When the user navigates to the
website, then will be prompted for the certificate to send and should get
prompted for the smart card PIN as well.
In WinForms, you would have to come up with an authentication mechanism that
required the smart card. This would depend a lot on how you planned to
communicate with the server. If it is via a web services interface with
HTTPS, then you should be able to specify a client certificate in your proxy
class that would result in the same prompt for the smart card PIN. I'm not
sure about that. Also, if you aren't using planning to use SSL, you'll need
a network protocol that supports certificate auth.
