In this article I am going to explain how to create a custom Application Page using visual studio 2010.

 Creating Empty SharePoint Project:


  • Open Visual Studio 2010 as an administrator. 
  • Go to File Ã  New Ã  Project. 
  • Select 2010 from the installed templates SharePoint and choose Empty SharePoint Project. 
  • Name it as SharePointProject.

as ApplicationPage.aspx.

    • Once you add the application page it will automatically create the Layouts Folder.
    • In the solution explorer you could see Layouts Ã  SharePointProject Ã ApplicationPage.aspx.
    • Once you deploy the solution the pages will be automatically placed in the layouts folder.
    • Open ApplicationPage.aspx from the solution explorer. Here you can change the layout of the page.
    • You can also change the "PlaceHolderPageTitle" content.
