You can use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse to make the call to a given URL and then parse the data accordingly. This can be spun off in a BackgroundWorker if so desired, as to not block the UI thread.

HttpWebRequest request = null;
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.mysite.com/orders?OrderNum=" + "i");
    using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
    {
        //ignore 
    }
}
