For this you use Twitter's OAuth authentication framework. It's used so that users don't have to directly enter their user + password into your site. (I assume you know how the front-end to that works already.)

You can use this little example to use OAuth from .NET - it is built for ASP.NET. (The demo the guy provides is My Tweeple.)

This is more kind of a user updating status to his twitter account using oAuth. But i am trying to implement like a facbook connect.for eg. to to friendfeed.com and click on the twitter button.

OAuth is used to do that. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Sign-in-with-Twitter

Twitter actually includes instructions for using OAuth to make a Facebook Connect-style system.
