How to create new object using Custom Button
I used to create Work Order object using a Custom Button (create work order) in Service Order page. This used to call one S-Control which had sforce.connection.create([workorder]);
How can I do similar thing in visualforce, it seems I can't execute any DML like that.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

You will need an apex:commandbutton or apex:commandlink with an action binding to a method in your controller, either a custom controller or a controller extension.
In that method you can creat the new object and fire off any dml you need.
So the visual force button will look like so:
<apex:commandButton value="New" action="{!CreateNewWorkOrder}"/>
And the method in your controller / extension like this:
public Pagereference CreateNewWorkOrder(){WorkOrder__c wo = new WorkOrder__c();wo.Property1 = "a value";insert wo;return null;}
I dont want to create button in Visualforce page. I want to add a Custom button which can invoke a Visualforce page and invoke DML.
This is possible in S-Control, want to know the alternate.

What you have to do is create a blank visualforce page with an action="" attribute on it that will create the record you want.
example:
VF:
<apex:page action="{!createRecord}" controller="myController"> </apex:page>
Controller:
public class myController { public PageReference createRecord() { Account a = new Account(); a.Name = 'My New Account'; insert a; return new PageReference(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('retURL')); } }
