Hi I have the following UK postcode dy8 3xt and know that the latitude and longitude is:-

52.190108
-2.517266

I also know that the Eastings, Northings for the postcode is:-

389490
283880

However I am struggling to find the equation that converts lat/long to northings and Eastings, I would prefer to have the equation in both in jScript and c# (I am being greedy)!

Can anyone help?
