    Note: There is missing code from what is posted. The posted code can not be compiled and executed for testing.
    Please post a small, complete program that can be compiled and executed for testing.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
