What is infragistics netadvantage ? What is it basically related for ?
Netadvantage is the name for the Infragistics third party controls for .Net applications. They have ASP.Net, jQuery, Winforms, Silverlight and WPF controls. They are much like DevExpress, Telerik or ComponentOne.
I think specifically, Netadvantage is the name of one of there packages which contains licenses for a number of (or most of) the controls mentioned above.
NetAdvantage for ASP.NET gives you a set of UX controls and components that saves you a lot of time coding.
You can check its samples to see what controls that are missing in VisualStudio`s "Default" controls are available.

What is the Difference between infragistics and obout for asp.net c# ?
It's good to describe, in more details, what your application requirements are, in order to receive more accurate answer. Here are the ASP.NET controls of both vendors:
Infragistics ASP.NET
OBOUT Suite for ASP.NET
You can see that the controls more or less are the same, but NetAdvantage has Chart, Gauge and Rating in addition, while OBOUT packet has controls like Color Picker, Poll, File Manager. That's why it's important to clarify what are your application needs.
More technical details to consider the difference, can be the performance of the controls and the time you need to configure those controls. But I guess this also depends on the controls you want to use, and there cannot be made a general conclusion.
It's also important to measure the stability of those controls and the level of support.
I am working on a page that primarily uses Telerik RadControls, and thus uses the RadScriptManager control. However, I need to add some controls that use AjaxControlToolkit to the page, but since I cannot have two ScriptManagers on one page, so how would I do this?
You are correct in that you cannot have two script managers on the same page.
However Telerik can use the standard Microsoft ScriptManager, and your Microsoft controls can also use the Telerik ScriptManager. You just have to choose which one you prefer. (I suspect you should try Telerik to start with)
Will there be any problems if I use DevExpress controls and Telerik controls on the same web page. Imagine I am nesting them insider one another.
I am wondering if they would conflict each other during AJAX calls.
Yes you can use both of them. There is no conflict. Because web.config has different arguments about these controls.
Maybe page is much more slower. Devexpress is running slowly.
In windows applications we can change the ListView's column width by just dragging the header of the column. How can I done that in a ASP.NET ListView?
ASP.NET listview does not support that feature. You can make your own implementation using a combination of ASP.NET and Javascript (or ASP.NET AJAX or JQuery).
I would recommend looking at the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET.
Specifically check out the demos for:
Grid
ListView
DevExpress also makes some great control packages as well that might suit your needs. I haven't come across very many great 'free' ajax enabled grid controls that I would recommend unfortunately.
You can also look on the ASP.NET site for a list of controls.
In Winforms you can have two controls tied to the same datasource in a way that when you select a record in one of them, the same record is selected in the other control.
Something that has always bugged me is being unable to non programatically reproduce this behavior in web development. Is there any way to do this, framework, control toolkit, anything?
You will be able to in ASP.NET 4.0 with Sys.Observer.makeObservable.
The short answer is no.
In order to achieve this result in Windows Forms, the data presenter control (a DataGrid for instance) needs to trigger an event handled by the Datasource that, in turn, (as it keeps a list of all data presenter controls bound to it) order them to rebind.
Although this effect can be reproduced in a web scenario, it's definetly not simple because of a simple fact: It's not single layered. The Datasource is on server.
The framework or control toolkit that would expose this feature would need to create a client representation of the Datasource that would reproduce the process I described in Javascript or other technology.
I personally know Telerik, DevExpress and some other widely used frameworks and I ensure you. " non programatically" you won't be able to do this.
