You are using a 'tradition' approach to a BibTeX bibiliography. Biblatex does not work that way: I suggest you read some of the biblatex examples.

[ahmedlasheen]

can you give me minimal example?

[josephwright]

For example, the biblatex exmaple file '30-style-numeric.tex'

Your version of biblatex is outdated. Get an update by using the package manager of your TeX distribution.

Oh, sorry. I have forgotten that TeX Live 2010 is frozen, thus a subsequent installation or update of packages this way is not possible any more. It is said that TeX Live 2011 is to be released in the near future.

For the present you could download the package from CTAN and put it in the working directory of your document as a temporary solution.
