Make the followed change in the page markup.

 

<apex:page controller="allobjects_in_pbtable">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock >
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!objects}" var="a">
                <apex:column value="{!a}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

  You missed the value attribute in Column component. So the Object name was not displayed in the page.

Hi,

 

Change the return type of the method from "list<Schema.SObjectType>" to List<String>"

 

Return gd.Keyset(). You can get the list of Object names.

 

Thanks

Hi surekha

                  u r saying that replace "list<Schema.SObjectType>" to List<String>",but am getting an error i.e

     Illegal assignment from SET<String> to LIST<String>....So that i can change list to SET again it shows an error i.e

           SetValue.name .....once check it.i thought that error by v.f only....

 

 v.f  Code:<apex:page controller="allobjects_in_pbtable">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock >
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!objects}" var="a">
                <apex:column value="{!a.name}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

class:

public class allobjects_in_pbtable {
    public set<string> getObjects() {
    Map<String,Schema.SObjectType> gd=schema.getGlobalDescribe();
       set<string> ss=gd.keyset();
        return ss;
    }

}

harsha__charsha__c

 set<string> ss=gd.keyset();


Change this to followed

 

 set<string> ss = new  set<string>();

ss.addAll(gd.keyset());

Hi Harsha,

                 u'r suggestion is clearing my doubt and one more thing is that i want to display in an alphabetical order

so,i try to sort out them..but it shows an error i.e,

System.ListException: One or more of the items in this list is not Comparable.

code:

 

public list<Schema.SObjectType> getCusobjs() {
       list<Schema.SObjectType> sltd=new list<Schema.SObjectType>();
        Map<String,Schema.SObjectType> gd=schema.getGlobalDescribe();
        list<Schema.SObjectType> ss=gd.values();
        for(Schema.SObjectType s:ss){
            if(s.getDescribe().getName().contains('__c')){
                sltd.add(s);
                // sltd.sort();
            }
        }
        return sltd;
    }

For this I think that you need to add these list values to a list of string and then you can sort.
