      Hi,

      if you want to show another vf page after inserting an account,than you should use pagereference for another vf page and show all the details of account using <apex:outputText >.

      Hi Tanu,

      *For this you have to create a class using ApexTooling Api which create page dynamically. It can be done using REST Api callout used in Tooling Api.
      *After this you have to create a trigger which calls the class after insertion of Account.

      Thankyou

      Hi Shekhar,
      I am providing you an example of Dynamic Page creation using ApexTooling Api.

      *Here i have created a vf page in which the object name is entered(custom/standard) on entering object name in input field & clicking on 'create page', a page is been created dynamically refrencing to the object in StandardController.

      * Make sure you have put your base url in Remote Site Settings, It is needed for callout.

      Vf Page:-

      <apex:page controller="ctrl_DynamicPageCreation">
      <apex:form id="form1">

      <div style="margin-left: 23px;">
      <h1 style="padding-right: 10px;"> Object Name</h1>
      <apex:inputText html-placeholder="Object Name..." value="{!objectName}">
      </apex:inputText>
      </div> <br/>
      <apex:commandButton value="CreatePage" action="{!createpage}" reRender="Error" style="margin-left: 23px;"/>
      </apex:form>

      <apex:outputpanel id="Error">

      <apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
      </apex:outputpanel>
      </apex:page>
      Controller:-

      public class ctrl_DynamicPageCreation{

      public String objectName{get;set;}
      Public String name;

      public ctrl_DynamicPageCreation(){}

      public void createpage(){

      if(objectName.contains('__c')){
      name = objectName.replace('__c','');
      }

      system.debug('****'+objectName);
      String salesforceHost = System.Url.getSalesforceBaseURL().toExternalForm();

      String url = salesforceHost + '/services/data/v29.0/sobjects/ApexPage';

      HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();

      req.setMethod('POST');
      req.setEndpoint(url);
      req.setHeader('Content-type', 'application/json');
      req.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + UserInfo.getSessionId());
      //for controllerType = >0 -- no controller
      //req.setBody('{"Name" : "TestPageFromRest","Markup" : "<apex:page>hello</apex:page>","ControllerType" : "0","MasterLabel":"TestPageFromRest","ApiVersion":"29.0"}');

      //for controllerType => 1 -- Standard controller + extensions
      req.setBody('{"Name" : "FileUploader'+name+'","Markup" : "<apex:page standardController=\''+objectName+'\' extensions=\'dynamicCreationController\'>hello</apex:page>","ControllerType" : "1","MasterLabel":"FileUploader'+objectName+'","ApiVersion":"29.0"}');

      //for controllerType => 3 --custom Controller
      //req.setBody('{"Name" : "DynamicPage'+objectName+'","Markup" : "<apex:page controller=\''+objectName+'\'>hello</apex:page>","ControllerType" : "3","MasterLabel":"TestPageFromRestCase23","ApiVersion":"29.0"}');
      Http http = new Http();

      HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
      System.debug(res.getBody());
      if(string.valueof(res.getBody()).contains('success')){
      ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.CONFIRM,'Your Page has been created..');
      ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
      }
      else{
      string errorMessage = string.valueof(res.getBody());
      string test = errorMessage.substring(13,errorMessage.indexOf('","errorCode'));
      system.debug('&&&&'+test);
      if(test.contains('Markup')){
      ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Object does not exist. Please check the spelling and try again.');
      ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
      }

      else if(test.contains('That page name is already in use, please choose a different one.')){
      ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Page for this object is already been created. Try to choose different one.');
      ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
      }
      else{
      ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,test);
      ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
      }
      }
      }
      }

      Hope so this information is helpful to you.
      Thanks
