<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" sidebar="false" showHeader="false"> <apex:slds/> <apex:form> <!-- Without lightning designing CSS--> <div > <label for="inputLabel">Input Label</label> <div> <input type="text" id="inputLabel" placeholder="Without lightning designing CSS"/> </div> </div> <!-- With lightning designing CSS--> <div class="slds-form-element"> <label class="slds-form-element__label" for="inputLabel">Input Label</label> <div class="slds-form-element__control"> <input type="text" id="inputLabel" class="slds-input" placeholder="With lightning designing CSS"/> </div> </div> </apex:form> </apex:page>

How to get object name from ID of record

In Salesforce some time we have requirement to retrieve object name from record ID. So We can done this by two approach.

First approach

• Get SObject type from record ID by using getSObjectType() method.
• Convert Sobject type into string value.

Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact'); insert contactRecord; // contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType() return Sobject Type of record then we convert them into String String objectName = String.valueOf(contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType());

Second approach

• Get Sobject type from record id by using getSObjectType() method.
• Describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method.
• Then get name of object from object describe by using getName() method .

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact'); insert contactRecord; /* - first we get Sobject type by using statement contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType() - we describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method. - then from object describe by using getName() we can get name of that object */ String objectName = contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();

            }


            if (attachFile.size > 26214400) { //Where 26214400 is byte equivalent of 25MB


                alert('Attachment size not supported');


            }


            reader.onload = function(e) {
