Hi Haider,
Yes i had tested the macro, there seems to me nothing wrong with the code.
I had compiled succesfully in Sharpdevelop Editor.
I will insert the code completely for you to examine the whole macro.
Look where the difference are with your code, beside the different namespace name.
If you can do it, insert your whole code just like i did.
Good Luck!
