Thanks Sai Garnepudi. that is what i wanted. thanks a lot. One more question, what if I want to implement some logic in the background before creating new project?

Do i need to use controller? 

appreciate your time.
thanks

Yes using a controller is a better option. If it is simple logic like making a field required, you can do that on the VF tags (rendered, required, etc).
