Your question can be interpreted in many ways. Here are some approaches you might find of use:
1) As web platform is something really different from a windows like platform, you can NOT make a windows application to be presented as it is via web. Actually you could do this in theory, and only partly. But this would be a huge work. So this one will not work.
2) You can make a windows application to be served via http and to run inside a web browser. This is called frame servicing, and lately virtualization. You can use for this Citrix, Terminal Services or VMWare, since the clients for these can be embedded in a web page.
3) You can create application that can be used both via web and on desktop. There are several techniques for that. Start with WPF and XAML for example.
4) You can create application that has it's logic on server side, and has a web based and a winforms based interface, that is used just for presentation and user interaction.
5) If you can run your app on linux, you can use the X-Windows architecture to have your application GUI ran in a web-enabled X server.

Answer is No,
You can't add Windows Forms into Web Page.

In my opinion Microsoft didn't create such feature because Web Application is Platform Free (OS) but Windows Forms only Run inside Windows Machine and only after installing.
