I wanted to show 20 items from database using a listview. but those items should be shown in two divs. 10 items in each div. The problem is, how can i build div inside listview itemtemplate for the items in aspx page?
if the level of customization you are looking for is not easi or possible to achieve with customization of the ASP.NET listview ItemTemplate, you can uset the repeater object and customize its ItemTemplate, the repeater has been designed exactly for these cases, it supports data binding and allows you to define / customize totally the layout of items to repeat.

I'm quite new to ASP.NET Web Form. How can we generate cards dynamically with the same idea as using GridView in ASP.NET VB language?
You can use Repeater Control which is used to display the repeated list of items in your own style in your case 'card'.
Repeater Control is used to display repeated list of items that are bound to the control and it’s same as gridview and datagridview. Repeater control is lightweight and faster to display data when compared with gridview and datagrid. By using this control we can display data in custom format but it’s not possible in gridview or datagridview and it doesn’t support for paging and sorting.
The Repeater control works by looping through the records in your data source and then repeating the rendering of it’s templates called item template. Repeater control contains different types of template fields those are
ItemTemplate
AlternatingItemTemplate
HeaderTemplate
FooterTemplate
SeperatorTemplate
ItemTemplate: ItemTemplate defines how the each item is rendered from data source collection.
AlternatingItemTemplate: AlternatingItemTemplates is used to change the background color and styles of AlternatingItems in DataSource collection
HeaderTemplate: HeaderTemplate is used to display Header text for DataSource collection and apply different styles for header text.
FooterTemplate: FooterTemplate is used to display footer element for DataSource collection
SeparatorTemplate: SeparatorTemplate will determine separator element which separates each Item in Item collection.
For more information Repeater - Microsoft Documentation
If you are new to ASP.NET, you should also look at DataList control.
It's similar to the Repeater control but easier to use as you don't have to "code" the templates yourself, you can design them in the page directly.
I have read many articles regarding difference between gridview and repeater. I come to know that gridview pattern is fixed in and , where as repeater can provide customized HTML mark up. If I am not wrong, we can also customize HTML mark up by adding template field and placing table with customized design. In that tables we can place labels and other .net control and can get whatever we want. Then why to use repeater control.
I am confused in which scenario it can be preferred over gridview.
In simple words we can say performance of repeater is far better than gridview. If you need basic rendering for read only items then its better to use repeater and if you need events , pagination and editable controls then you should go for gridview. Simpler controls with less in built functionality are speedy. you can do implement all functionalities of grid view to repeater but you have to do it manually.
So it depends upon you requirements either you need repeater or gridview

Please provide me steps to do it.
JS
Use asp.net ListView Control.
It gives you full control over rendered html.
Using ASP.NET 3.5's ListView and DataPager Controls
If you want the gridview to look like this, you will need to create only one visible column with no header showing and place all your controls into the content template of this column. From there you will have to manually style the controls to your required style.
If you have dynamic content in the rows, during rowdatabound of the gridview you can access each control using the findcontrol method and customize each control from there.
I have a Listview + Datapager and I wonder if there's some fancy solution to "duplicate" it and show the same datapager on top and bottom of the datagrid without using 2 different datapagers.
Thanx a lot
One of the dirty way could be replicate pager html using javascript. For example, using jquery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#topPager').append($('#bottomPager').html());
});
Where you have two divs - one empty placeholder div with id=topPager and another div with id=bottomPager containing pager control. Note that in case if events being added to pager elements such as links/anchors then you may use jquery clone method to clone pager element with events
I've come across to that page searching for a similar solution for Gridview control. If you prefer using Gridview, there is a built-in solution .net framework. You can set PagerSettings.Position property to TopAndBottom to get pager control on top of and at the bottom of gridview control.
You can see the MSDN documentation page for PagerSettings.Position here.
I've managed it using this approach:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/custom-controls/mirror.aspx
I created an ascx user control that replicates any other control exactly as it is.
in .NET4 you can put multiple pager element tags in the listview LayoutTemplate element
Context: In an ASP.NET application, I need the behavior of the ItemTemplate / EditItemTemplate that the DataList control provides. However, I only need one item in my control, which makes the DataList seems like overkill.
Question: Is there a control in ASP.NET made to store a single item that has the template content behavior of the DataList and DataGrid? Should I use a DataList for only one item?
Why don't you use the FormView or DetailsView? They are meant to display one item (at the time).
