Anyone know if I could embed this into a vb program?

(I've written a small data capture app for my company using visual studio and this would be really useful)

Thanks

I looked at a few products and getAddress seems lightyears ahead when it comes to pricing, flexibility and ease of use.

I believe you can get full list of post codes from Ofcom. Depends what exactly you need the list for though or how you intend to look up any particular postcode

From what I can remember it worked ok.

How many calls are you making per hour and in total per day?

There is little point in asking people their favourite postcode lookup tool without asking this.

Postcode lookup APIs

I'm curious to know about what experiences the panel has had on using address lookup services for the UK market.

In the past I've used Postcode Anywhere (looks like they've re-branded to Express Anywhere) and quite liked it but there seem to be loads of services out there.

Also, is there an interface that you've particularly liked when entering your address info on a webpage? Something fluid and intuitive.
