First you need to create an app on facebook app from following url
http://developers.facebook.com/
Click on app option and you will get following window from where you can create new application on facebook by clicking on create new app button.
after cliccking on create new app button you will get following window
Give your app name and check the checkbox for terms and conditions of facebook. after that click on continue button.
by that your app will be created on facebook and you will get app id and secret which we have to use in our code.
I am using facebook graph api to import facebook contacts in our asp.net application. we need to include facebookGraphApi.dll and Newtonsoft.json.dll in your project. after that you need to add config section in web.config file.
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="FacebookGraphToolkitConfiguration" type="Facebook_Graph_Toolkit.FacebookGraphToolkitConfiguration"/>
</configSections>
<FacebookGraphToolkitConfiguration FacebookAppID="yourAppKey" FacebookAppSecret="YourAppSecret"/>
</configuration>
add oAuthFacebook.cs file in your project which contains:

Default.aspx:
now create a signIn button like:
<body>
<input id="btnFBSignIn" type="button" value="Facebook SignIn" onclick="javascript:FBSignIn();"/>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function FBSignIn() {
top.location.href = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=YOURCLIENTID&redirect_uri=YOURREDIRECTURL&scope=publish_stream,email,offline_access";
}
</script>
NOTE: your YOURREDIRECTURL must be same as which you have specified while creating app in facebook and OAuthFacebook.cs file.
After that when you will click on this sign in button it will redirect to facebook login and then it will ask for the permissions which you have specified in scope in script if user allow the permission it will redirect to that page which you have specified in your script as well as in OAuthFacebook.cs file.In my case it is callback.aspx.
