Can use my custom page to add/Edit item from sharepoint list?
if yes how? Do i need to do any config changes?
Sure you can! Check Create a custom list article form from Microsoft site. You will use SharePoint Designer 2007 for all the customizations. It also allows you to convert every form to HTML/XSLT and to customize it even further.
In SharePoint Designer, create a new ASPX Page then go to Insert => SharePoint Controls => List Form or Form Web Part and play around to see if it fits your needs.

We are migrating Lotus Notes application to SharePoint 2010. There are around 200 views on navigation pane of Lotus Notes. In order to provide similar kind of look and feel on SharePoint I am thinking to add dropdown on quick launch of my site.
Is it possible to add HTML controls like dropdown and add a functionality to navigate to respective view? Or else what could be the better solution for this case?
Thanks,
Pratima
You can use the ASP.NET placeholders available in the masterpage to host a control or WebPart beside the Quick Launch. The actual QuickLauch is generally customized by JavaScript unless you want to replace it with a completely new class.
It`s possible in sharepoint 2010, will set up a list of custom data source and then adapt new input forms from visual web parts which will replace the existing add, edit and delete forms?
if it is possible, then how?
Here is an article on MSDN that describes how to use InfoPath to customise the Display, Edit and New forms for external list data (business connectivity services).
Just like in SharePoint 2007 you can change the association of the New, Edit and Display forms using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010. You can create new ASPX pages, or use InfoPath forms as per the above. These ASPX pages can contain the functionality you want directly, or host visual web parts with the right permissions.
Here is an article that describes how to change the associated forms for a list with SharePoint Designer. I would recommend creating new pages and associating the list to those rather than trying to update the existing pages. This avoids any problems if the out of the box files are updated by a service pack / hotfix etc, and also allows you to revert to the out of the box forms if needed.
I have a document library with 2 different Content Types. I need to create custom edit form for editing document properties, I need different custom edit forms for content types.. So I followed the instructions SPD support site to create the edit form using Sharepoint designer. I have done this of several lists and it all works perfectly.
For the document library when I try to attach the custom form to the library I don't see the "Content type specific forms" drop down to choose the content type to attach the custom edit form.
How can this be done?
I'm using MOSS 2007
If using 3rd party components is an option, you can use PowerForms to easily customize the edit forms for each content type without using SP designer
I have developed a publishing portal in sharepoint.I have a requirement wherein I need to create sitemap for the entire web application.
This should be dynamic, in the sense, whenever we update the contents of any given page in our web application, it should be reflected immediately in the sitemap page. What are the possible ways to achieve this and which is the best possible solution considering the scalability and easy configuration?
Thank you.
If you don't want to use a custom webpart, you could use normal navigation list to create your sitemap and it is automatically updated. You only need to style it in a way to resemble some kind of sitemap.
Here are some links to get you started with customizing your navigation:
Custom Navigation in SharePoint - The Full Monty
How to: Customize Navigation
Also there is the portal site map which provides the data source for your custom menu. Just read up on custom navigation and stuff like PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource and SharePoint:AspMenu.
There is a nice PowerShell script to create a sitemap for SHarepoint 2010, if you want to submit your sitemap to Google: Generate A Sitemap For SharePoint 2010 Using PowerShell'.
You can also install and customize the SharePoint Web part ("Table of Contents") to your liking. Read up on it here...
