Unclear on how to call a webscript from an application

I am working on a small application, written in C#, that is intended to call a webscript that will search the alfresco database for any files with a specific string in the title, and then return the data on those files (Title and Date Modified are all that is required) into an array.  I understand the majority of the tasks required, how to search the files and how to handle the data.  I am just unclear on how to connect my application to the alfresco database, and call the webscript. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I suggest you try to use DotCMIS client first,because it is platform independent.Only choose webscript api if DotCMIS api dose not satisfy your requirment.
A web script is a service bound to a URI that responds to HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELET, so you can submit  HTTP request using the HttpClient API
to send HTTP requests and receive HTTP responses and deal with http responses.

Thank you for your suggestion, the DotCMIS client does seem like it would meet my needs much more efficiently.  I will attempt it with that.
