If you are talking about address verification there are several webservices in the U.S. that you can use to accomplish this. I noticed that you have England under your name so you will need to do some searching for a webservice that you can access address records from. I usually start withhttp://www.xmethods.com/
If I cannot find what I am looking for there then I go to Google and start searching. To add a reference to a webservice is pretty easy. You just right click your project and select add web reference. Give it he url to the .asmx of the webservice and take off. It will supply you with typed references to the different things that you can retrieve from the selected service just like you were working with a local class or .dll. I am sorry that I do not know more about address verification in England, but I am sure that you can find some info on the web.

I hope that this helps.
