Display records from a custom object?

Hi! I would like to display data with VFpage from a custom object. A table with the all records. How can I do that? Do I need to set a custom controller.

 

Thanks

You have a single underscore character there - custom objects require two underscores:

 

Catalog__c  (rather than Catalog_c)

You shouldn't need a custom controller for this, although it does depend on your exact requirements.

 

I'd suggest you take a look at the Visualforce Developer's Guide, Standard List Controllers section.  This has some really good examples that may fit your requirements (including pagination etc).

 

You can find this section at:

Thanks for a quick reply! Yes I using this guide. But...

 

The custom object name is "Catalog"

when I write: <apex:page standardController="Catalog" ........ it shows

ErrorError: Catalog does not exist

 

Can you guide me what I am doing wrong...

 

Thanks!

Your custom object API name will have an __c appended to distinguish it from standard objects.

 

Thus you'd have:

 

 

<apex:page standardController="Catalog__c"

Thank you. i have tried it also before, but it didn't work too. It doesn't matter  "Catalog" or "Catalog_c", it just doesn't work. The custom object exists and has the name "Catalog"

 

ErrorError: Catalog_c does not exist

 

Any idea?
