I understand I can use IIS to set the certificate for the website running on localhost to IIS Express Development Certificate...

But how would I do this programmatically using a c# and .net program running on the individuals machine?

Or even using powershell.. or a cmd script.. just in a programmatic way that can be executed

Tim Buntrock posted an article on 4sysOps to run one locally for SQL Server. The self-signing concept should be the same.

netsh is the simplest command line you can use to associate certificates to ports and DNS names (SNI),

You can also consume Windows HTTP API in C#, or use IISAdministration PowerShell cmdlets. Examples can be found via search engines.
