This code no longer seems to be working. Did an update of the web service file as well. Never get any results back from the web service.

can you guys please help, is there any free webservice to convert lat long to osgridref.

  You could look at Yahoo! geocoding service which will geocode physical addresses into a lat/long. I did write an article about it (http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/scottlysle/GeocodeAddressCsharp01122008193746PM/GeocodeAddressCsharp.aspx?ArticleID=cde5e9c0-c869-46aa-bd52-047f434ee1ba) but you'd want to change the UI up to capture relavant information for a UK address. The OS Grid Reference system is a modified transverse mercator projection but for lat/long, you are still using WGS84 (same as in the US). I did find some notes on converting between WGS84 and OSGRID here http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong-convert-coords.html
