    Hi Arun,

    I don't think there is any direct way other than custom control if you want to create a custom lookup type field on your custom aspx page.

    A couple of suggestions here:

    1. Create a custom control which looks like CRM lookup field along with search. filtering and pagination but I would not recommend as this will require so much development effort.

    2. The recommended way is - Create a form in CRM of any entity, Insert a TAB and put one Contact lookup field inside it. Now Create an Entity Form in CRM Portals, Select the created CRM form and opt only that TAB inside it. Now, associate this entity form to a webpage that you are using to show your custom aspx page.

    You will have to set the alignment of the TAB (contains Contact Lookup) on you custom aspx page.

    Not a direct way, but using this configuration you can avoid coding efforts.

    Mark, it verified, If you are able to solve your problem.

    Cheers

    Hi Arun, this is actually the default behavior, what are you seeing in your situation?

    I've confirmed this using the sample community site using the /contact-us webpage whereby I've extended it to include a lookup to contact and created/set the appropriate entity permissions for both lead and contact for append and appendto. Here are a couple screen shots to illustrate:
