    Hi praveen

    You find the nodeid in Umbraco backoffice by either looking at a specific document in the "properties" tab - Here you can see the ID.

    You can also just hold your mouse over a specific node and look in the lower left corner. Here you'll also see the ID of the node.

    But it's never a good idea to use hardcoded ID's in the code so I think you should be able to access the ID of the current node the macro is being used on by writing something like this:

    Node node =  Node.GetCurrent().id; This should give you the id of the current node, so you can then pass the "node" to the

    Document doc = new Document(node);

    Does this make sense to you? (I'm not that skilled at C# :))
