How to use an inline Visualforce page in Record Details Page?

An inline visualforce page is a vf page which can be embedded within a detail page of a record. Salesforce allows doing so, in the edit page layout option. A vf page would be available for embedding in the detail page layout provided page is using standard controller of that particular object. For example, in the below example a inline vf page of standard controller 'contact' would be available for embedding in contact records only.

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page standardController="contact" extensions="InLineController">

 <apex:form >

   <apex:pageBlock title="My Inline Visualforce page">

    <b>Account Name : </b> <apex:outputField value="{!accRec.name}"/><br/>

    <b>Account Number: </b> <apex:outputField value="{!accRec.accountnumber}"/><br/>

     <b>Annual Revenue : </b>    <apex:outputField value="{!accRec.annualrevenue}"/>

   </apex:pageBlock>

 </apex:form>

</apex:page>

Controller:

public class InLineController {

 Public contact conRec{get;set;}

 Public id accRecId;

 Public account accRec{get;set;}

 public InLineController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {    

   if(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id') != null) {

   

     accRecId = [select id,accountid from contact where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')].accountid;

      if(accRecId != null)

         accRec = [select id,name,accountnumber,annualrevenue from account where id =:accRecId];

         

   }

 }

}

once you complete the VF and Controller add the VF section in Contact Detail Page Layout.
