I started to search 3 days ago and I already reached a good point by authenticating the user's and getting back the login session which contains the following data :

access_token: "xxxx"
authentication_token: "xxxx"
expires: "1339934686"
expires_in: 3600

I want to get the user data and, if you have a previous knowledge, you will know that I need to Decode the authentication_token value to get a JSON object containing some properties including the UserID to get the user data.

When I try to include the JsonWebToken.cs class, which was supplied by Microsoft example, in my MVC site it couldn't resolve some references such as :

System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
DataContractJsonSerializer;

When i searched i found that i must add reference to 

System.Runtime.Serialization.Json,
System.ServiceModel,
System.ServiceModel.Web.

When I did that no thing happened new.

Finally, I apologize for the long post, but my intent was to explain the problem and the steps I gone through.

I hope any body could give me a simple MVC example URL or help me with the token decoding by any why.

Maybe this will not cover your question fully, but here is a nice post where ASP.NET MVC app uses LiveID but doesn't use an ASP.NET Membership provider:

1) Reference for documentation is here: Windows Live ID Web Authentication SDK

2) and Live Connect Developer Center
