As far as I know you can't add a SharePoint list to a custom ASP.NET page however you can display list items on that custom page if your using SharePoint 2010 using user client object model,

MSDN client object model

Make sure you use a custom ASP.NET page and in code behind create a asp.net list just like announcement list (depends on your requirements) and then query announcement list that you either created in a site collection and add items to custom asp.net list.

hope it helps :).

You can edit the page and add the announcement list as a webpart.

Site Actions > Edit Page > Click 'Add a webpart'(for webpart page) > Click 'Insert' tab in ribbon > Select 'WebPart' > List and libraries > select the announcement list and click OK.

Hi Paddy thanks for the quick response. I am not using a SharePoint page rather I am using a custom aspx page which i had added in the layouts folder. How can i edit a custom aspx page? – anantharengan Dec 26 '12 at 9:37
Access the page from Internet Explorer -> Site Actions -> Edit Page – Arsalan Adam Khatri Dec 26 '12 at 9:47
He can't as its a custom asp.net page not SharePoint :) – Muhammad Raja Dec 26 '12 at 9:55
Hi Arsalan Adam Khatri and TimeToShine Thanks for the quick response. As TimeToShine rightly pointed it is a SharePoint page,hence I am not able to edit the page and add the Announcement Web Part. Any idea of how to show the Web Part on a custom page? – anantharengan Dec 26 '12 at 10:03
For a custom page.. you can have a web part zone in it so that you can add the announcement list to it... – Paddy Dec 26 '12 at 14:02
