A custom controller is a class written in Apex that implements all of a page's logic, without leveraging a standard controller. If you use a custom controller, you can define new navigation elements or behaviors, but you must also reimplement any functionality that was already provided in a standard controller. If you use a custom controller, you can define new navigation elements or behaviors, but you must also reimplement any functionality that was already provided in a standard controller.

 

You can use the Custom controller in several cases For Eg: onclick of a link you open a separate page & this page will have its own controls like edit, save etc...

Hi,

 

If you want to build a custom controller, follow the tutorial @ http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_controller_custom.htm

or, if you want to build a controller extension, follow the tutorial @ http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_controller_extension.htm

if you want to add it to the Details page of any of the Objects, You must use Standard Controller & Extensions on your visual force page. Once, you are done with your page, go to Setup --> Customize --> Object --> PageLayout --> Click on Edit  to edit the PageLayout

Click on VisualForce Pages. Drag & Drop a section into the Details page. Set Width & Height of the page. Drag & drop the page into the section.
