You can certainly use C# and .NET for desktop applications. While I do some web development at work, most of it is desktop/server apps and plugins.
In Visual Studio, simply choose to make a new Console, Windows Forms, or WPF project to get started. Though be aware that there are differences in terms of available UI controls, options, and ways of putting everything together that may complicate the learning curve relative to the web development you're used to.
