A custom view in the Edit drop-down

Question

Hi,
How could I create a custom view and add it to the Edit List Item drop-down in SharePoint 2013? This screenshot shows what I mean in SharePoint 2010:
I'd like to have a menu item Custom View below Edit Properties in the drop-down list. When the user clicks the item I'd like to redirect to my layout page.
Thanks,
Leszek

Hi ata6502:
Adding a user custom action for list items
using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace Microsoft.SDK.SharePointServices.Samples
class CreateUserCustomActionList
static void Main()
string urlWebsite = "http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection";
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(urlWebsite);
Web oWebsite = clientContext.Web;
List oList = oWebsite.Lists.GetByTitle("My List");
UserCustomActionCollection collUserCustomAction = oList.UserCustomActions;
UserCustomAction oUserCustomAction = collUserCustomAction.Add();
oUserCustomAction.Location = "EditControlBlock";
oUserCustomAction.Sequence = 100;
oUserCustomAction.Title = "My First User Custom Action";
oUserCustomAction.Url = urlWebsite + @"/_layouts/MyPage.aspx";
oUserCustomAction.Update();
clientContext.Load(oList,
list => list.UserCustomActions);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
