Issuing OpenIDs doesn't apply at all to a client application. It only applies to web apps.

Client apps can certainly be OAuth consumers/clients. You can see the DotNetOpenAuth OAuthConsumerWpf sample for an example of this.

Successfully implemented OAuth using DotNetOpenAuth :) – spiderman Apr 09 '13 at 06:20
Great. Just FYI, preventing access to a WinForms application (or any local app) based on network authentication isn't entirely secure (since the network can be spoofed by another process on the computer). The only reliable thing you can achieve is *authorization* to resources that are themselves available only over the network. For example, if Google is storing your data, then requiring the user to authenticate using their Gmail account can work, since if they somehow circumvented it, they'd also thwart their own access to the Google remote data. – Andrew Arnott Apr 27 '13 at 17:55
