Hello..

 I'm trying to insert an entry in a custom object..

Code in apex is :

<apex:page controller="ProgramController">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Program Section">

            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" />
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>

 </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Controller -- ProgramController

public with sharing class ProgramController
{
    public void save()
    {    
        try
        {
            Program__c tempProgram = new Program__c(Payment__c= false,
                    ParentProgram__c='testProg');
            insert tempProgram ;

}  
        catch(System.Exception e)
        {
            ApexPages.addMessages(e);
           //throw e;
            // return null;
        }

    }
}

It's working fine for me .. now im trying to add some other controls like selectlist etc and tryin to format page accordingly.

The new apex page is like

Apex:

<!-- <apex:page controller="ProgramController">
<apex:page standardcontroller="Program__c" extensions="ProgramController">
-->
<apex:page controller="ProgramController">

    <h2>Program</h2>

    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Program Section">

            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" />
                <apex:commandButton value="Save & New" action="{!save}" />
                <apex:commandButton value="Close" rerender="out" status="status" />
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>

            <apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="2">
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel >
                        <h1>Title:</h1>
                    </apex:outputLabel>
                    <apex:inputtext id="ProgramName" />
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel >
                        <h1>Program Type:</h1>
                    </apex:outputLabel>
                    <apex:selectList value="{!types}" size="1" id="ProgType">
                        <apex:selectOptions value="{!type}" />
                    </apex:selectList>


                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

            </apex:pageBlockSection>

        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

and Controller is

ProgramController:

public with sharing class ProgramController
{
    Public Program__c auto{get; set;}
    String[] types= new String[]{};

    /*
    public ProgramController() {
    }

    public ProgramController(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
    {
    }

     public PageReference ProgramController()      
       {           
         return null;        
       }*/

    public List<SelectOption> getType()  
    {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();   
        options.add(new SelectOption('0.','Payment Program'));
        options.add(new SelectOption('1','Non-Payment Program'));
        return options;  
    }
    public String[] getTypes()
    {
        return types;
    }
    public void setTypes(String[] types)
    {
        this.types= types;        
    }

    public void save()
    {    
        try
        {
            Program__c tempProgram = new Program__c(Payment__c= false,
                    ParentProgram__c='testProg');
            insert tempProgram ;

    
        }  
        catch(System.Exception e)
        {
            ApexPages.addMessages(e);
            //throw e;
            // return null;
        }

    }
}

Now in this case, it's not allowing me to insert .. and i jus found that is because of the populating SelectLists and due to <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > tag in page ... if i exclude these two things .. all insertions are working fine. I don't have any idea where i'm going wrong..

Any kind of help will b appreciated..

Thnx!!
