Hi Varun,

As DML operation is not supported with Record type, ou cannot create Record type using Apex. You have to create record type manually for any object.

You can create custom setting with Record Type Name Or Developer Name, I would suggest to use Developer Name instead of Name.

If you have two sets of pages then you can directly pass Record type ID and visualforce page (Based on Record type) on Custom Java Script button that will be operate from record detail page.

OR if you have one visualforce page, then you can fetch Record Type Name in your controller and based on Record Type you can show/hide fields or sections in your page.

I hope it helps you.

Thanks,

Yogesh Sharma

Can you explain why custom setting needs to be used explicitly? Is this a part of the requirement?
There are multiple ways for this - (you can also derive record type values in below code from a custom setting and set your conditions accordingly)
1) you can user an action method in the VF page and then in the controller use the setredirect() for navigation. 
public PageReference Redirect()
{
     If(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('RecordType') != '<>')
     {
           String hostname = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('<>'); 
           String x= 'https://'+<>+'/'+'/00Q/e?nooverride=1';
           pagereference pageref = new pagereference(x);
           pageref.setredirect(true);
           return pageref;
     }
     else
          return null;
}


2) You can also use render, re-render attributes in your VF pages to display fields based on record type 
<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!IF(Obj.RecordTypeId!='<>',true,false)}">

3) If the display is subjected to a group/set of fields, you can go for a field set and render them in your VF page

Don't have an exact working code for this, but you can try the below approach and see if it works out - 

Get the recordtype values using custom setting method
  
String x = Objetc.getValues('<>').<yourfield>;

and then pass this string variable to PageReference redirect  -'
  
PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('<url>/ +x); 
​pageRef.setRedirect(true);

String hostname = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('<>'); using this i will get the record id from url
and by querying using soql i will get the recordname
can anyone tell how to get the vf page related to the recordname from custom setting using code?
