The Problem is that Visual Studio and Expression don't identfy AutomationElement, TreeScope, TextPattern and Red underlined it !! i am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional and Expression 4 on Windows 7. Thanks in advance :)

You need to add UIAutomationClient.dll and it's dependencies as references. Even though the namespace is visable, not all of the classes are in the same Assembly.
