Use of Input Field...

 

<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page 
with a valid account record in the URL. 
For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be: 
https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53

<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="My Content" mode="edit">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="2">
                <apex:inputField value="{!account.name}"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!account.type}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 This is a code for the standard Object but If I want to insert/reference any custom object then how can i do that ?

I tried this things as I putted {!CustomObjectName__c.CustomFieldName__c} as value of the input field...

Regards....

Custom_Obj__c is the api name of your obj. Name and id are fields, you can put any field name of your custom object.

            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
So Field name will also gets appended by __c.
Thank you so much Sonali to help me...

Name and Id are standard fields. They exists for custom object as well. So they need to be given as Name and Id only.

 

For other fields you need to append __c. Basically you need to give field's API name here. You have to get your fields API name from fields view page.
