Using Canvas API from ASP.Net

Hi All, I am new to Canvas API and have a few question. I am writing my student system in ASP.Net and has a need to create a course in Canvas from my system or list grades and assignments for a particular student. Can someone has a sample code or any guideline for this? I can do it from a form or code behind.

Thanks so much.

I have been exploring various protocols: WebClient, HttpWebRequest , and HttpClient (requires 4.5 framework), with mixed results (GET works fine, PUT and POST not working). Since we are not on the 4.5 framework yet, I can't use HttpClient - though based on google searches, it seems to be the best option.
