Change default action of the workflow task in Sharepoint

It is good user exeprience if user can directly edit the task instead of going to View the task and then edit. or instead of going to ECB menu and then select edit item.

User should be edit the task using only single click. here are the steps to achieve this thing.:
Step1. Open master page. and put following javaScript code in the head part of the master page.
function GoToLink(elm)
{
try
{

if (elm.href==null)
return;
var ch=elm.href.indexOf("?") >=0 ? "&" : "?";
var srcUrl=GetSource();
if (srcUrl !=null && srcUrl !="")
srcUrl=ch+"Source="+srcUrl;
var editUrl, regExp;
var dispUrl = elm.href ;

regExp = /DispForm.aspx/i;
editUrl = dispUrl.replace(regExp, "EditForm.aspx");
var targetUrl= editUrl + srcUrl;

if (isPortalTemplatePage(targetUrl))
window.top.location=STSPageUrlValidation(targetUrl);
else
window.location=STSPageUrlValidation(targetUrl);
}
catch(e)
{
alert(e.description);
}
}

Step 2. Make Defer="false" in following markup code in the master page.

3. THe default action of task has been changed to edit item.

Create a sharepoint webpart

Steps:
1. Create a simple webusercontrol . Put necessary code and controls in it.(For ex, datagrid and code to connect database.) Do not maintain separate code file (ascx.cs) for web user control. Put code in same ascx file only.
2. Put the webusercontrol (.ascx file) in layout folder of sharepoint site where you want to deploy the webpart.
3. Go to VS2008. (Please install VSSWSE.exe before that.)
4. Create new Project -> Select webpart from Visual C# -> sharepoint
5. Add following code :
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
base.CreateChildControls();
// TODO: add custom rendering code here.
Control objControl = Page.LoadControl("/_layouts/WebUserControl.ascx");
this.Controls.Add(objControl);
}
6. Build and deploy the solution.
7. Go to the sharepoint site -> Site Actions -> EditPage ? Add Web Part.
