Is it possible any how to make a custom object record undergo approval process before inserting it to object.

i get the following error while saving the below code in a apex class.
Error: Compile Error: Invalid type: ReadResult at line 5 column 9
 

public with sharing class MetadataController {
public void readCustomObjectSync() {
    try {
        ReadResult readResult = metadataConnection
                .readMetadata('CustomObject', new String[] {
                        'MyCustomObject1__c', 'MyCustomObject2__c' });
        Metadata[] mdInfo = readResult.getRecords();
        System.debug('Number of component info returned: '
                + mdInfo.length);
        for (Metadata md : mdInfo) {
            if (md != null) {
                CustomObject obj = (CustomObject) md;
                System.debug('Custom object full name: '
                        + obj.getFullName());
                System.debug('Label: ' + obj.getLabel());
                System.debug('Number of custom fields: '
                        + obj.getFields().length);
                System.debug('Sharing model: '
                        + obj.getSharingModel());
            } else {
                System.debug('Empty metadata.');
            }
        }
    } catch (ConnectionException ce) {
        ce.printStackTrace();
    }
 }
}

 

my question is, is there any way to create a apex class which fetches the details of validations ,datatypes and other info. of the fields related to a particular custom object and display them in a visual force page.

I am able to upload and retrieve the list of attachments to my custom object in a table.
clicking on the attachment id in the table takes me to the page in the below image.

 

 The problem is with the "Viewfile" link on this page. it downloads the uploaded file without extension instead of displaying it in  browser.
Is there a problem with my browser or its a problem with salesforce.

This same link works fine with Documents but size constraint does'nt allow to upload files larger than 5 mb with Document object.

The "viewfile" link with which i have problems was working previously for other users . i was suggested to use the above link to display pdf attachment on the browser by previos users. here is something which i came through searching for a solution to my problem and the pictures show it worked fine for him.http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/28268/rendering-attachment-on-visualforce-page

i have uploaded a pdf file using document object in salesforce. i am using the below code to display that file in a pop up window in my browser. my requirement is to show only the first two pages of that file and not the whole document in the browser.

<apex:repeat var="dc" value="{!details}">
  <tr>
  <td><a target="_blank" href="https://c.ap1.content.force.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file={!dc.id}" onclick="return windowpop(this.href, 545, 433)"> {!dc.Name} </a></td>
    <td>{!dc.Type}</td>
  </tr> </apex:repeat>
