Hi Prince,

This forum is for software developers who are using the Open Protocol Specification documentation to assist them in developing systems, services, and applications that are interoperable with Windows. The Open Protocol Specifications can be found at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc203350.aspx. Since your post does not appear to be related to the Open Protocol Specification documentation set we would appreciate it if you could try http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/threads instead to find the information you are looking for.
Thanks and regards,
