How to Show 1000+ data to the user?

Question

I hava used ListView control to display data. It is working fine for small data, but as the data size increases, say it goes beyond 1000+ records in the database. It will take too much time to fetch records from database and then display on the ListView control.
Is there a better control for larger data? Or is there any alternative way ... e.g. the way google fetches numerous links when we search but displays only 10 at a time.
