@vetal_king the idea here is that you'd use an SObject (like Account) that has field(s) of the appropriate type (from your example, Text, Date, Number, and Picklist, respectively) instead of using your custom object (which is the 'hard way' of accomplishing what you're looking to do).

| Mar 20, 2017 at 14:29 | comment | added | vetal_king | How do I use inputField? I could not find a way to render dropdown list if the type of the field is dropdown. I could use type=data etc. Can you please provide me some pointers? | |

As Martin Lenzer notes, <apex:inputField> is the tool for the job here. Is there a particular reason why you don't want to use that? If you're looking for a way to add a collection of sObject fields to a Visualforce page without typing <apex:inputField> over and over, you should take a look at using fieldsets
