Controllers

Visualforce uses the traditional model–view–controller (MVC) paradigm, and includes sophisticated built-in controllers to handle standard actions and data access, providing simple and tight integration with the Force.com database. These built-in controllers are referred to generally as standard controllers, or even the standard controller.

<apex:page StandardController=”Account”>

<apex:pageBlock title=”Account Summary”>
<apex:pageBlockSection >
Name: {!Account.name}
