On my custom NewForm.aspx I have got

<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" ID="field_Project" ControlMode="New" FieldName="Project" />

Is it possible to replace it with asp net DropDownList and save lookup value using that control?

Marcin,

You can do this by inducing JavaScript on your NewForm.aspx page, as described in the following article:
http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blog/Pages/BlogPost.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={72C1C85B-1D2D-4A4A-90DE-CA74A7808184}&pID=740

EDIT

If you want filtered lookup drop downs or Cascaded lookup drop downs, you can have a look at:
SolidQ Filtered Lookup Columns for Cascading Dropdowns in SharePoint 2010
SharePoint Cascaded Lookups - JavaScript based

These should help you achieve what you are looking for!

  • The referenced lookup list is large and cataloged using directories (because of numer list items). I must show elements only from selected directory and filter items by some criterias. The result should be visible in lookup control.

  • It will not work in my case I need custom logic to fill cascaded second dependant lookup drop down, probably on server side.

  • Ok, I simply customized my NewForm.aspx WebPartPage using asp controls and sharepoint server object model.
