You can Go for Listview or repeater..!

I don't know if I am interperting the question correctly, but on occasion for projects that involve having different pictures and text for users/products I use a panel or div control and then just dynamically place the controls per each data row in there. So, assume I have a panel control named "panel1" on the aspx file, I would then use something like this in my code behind:

DataReader dr1 = Connection1.Read()

While (dr1.Read)
{
Image pictureBox1 = new Image();
TextBox tb1 = new TextBox();

pictureBox1.ImageURL = dr1["imageLocation"].toString();
tb1.Text = dr1["textBlurb"].toString();

panel1.Controls.Add(pictureBox1);
panel1.Controls.Add(tb1);
}

Then I just work on formatting the layout using the css. Hope this helps! :)
