I think div will be best to represent it IF you're storing address in HTML Encoded.

Are you storing address in single column in DB or you have spitted it to multiple column ?

[update]

Thanks for the update. So If you are storing in single column then split the address with ' '(Space) and gather address lines(in case of you there will be 4)

Then simply add <br/> after each line and put the whole string in div. Do you think it makes sense to you ?

Align/Design your controls based on your need in you page & write the below code in the code-behind.

C#

string Details = "Name;City;State;Country";
string[] arDetails = new string[4];
char[] splitter  = {';'}; //Define deliminator based on the original string
arDetails = Details.Split(splitter);
for(int x = 0; x < arDetails.Length; x++)
{
    switch(x)
{
    case 0:
    lblName.Text = arDetails[x].ToString();
    break;
    case 1:
    lblCity.Text = arDetails[x].ToString();
    break;
    case 2:
    lblState.Text = arDetails[x].ToString();
    break;
    case 3:
    lblCountry.Text = arDetails[x].ToString();
    break;
}
}

Do changes in your code based on your need.

Yes div is good option, it si light weighted but if you have knowledge of html designing and css (because i confused in margin and padding). i created the sample code using table. becaus in tabel we are esy to handle and able to align properly and also have proper browser compatibility.

<table width="600px" style="vertical-align:middle">
          <tr>
              <td>
                  <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Name" ID="lblName"></asp:Label>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:TextBox runat="server"  ID="txtName"></asp:TextBox>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:Label runat="server" Text="City" ID="lblCity"></asp:Label>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:TextBox ID="txtCity" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
              </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
              <td>
                  <asp:Label runat="server" Text="State" ID="lblState"></asp:Label>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtState"></asp:TextBox>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Country" ID="lblCountry"></asp:Label>
              </td>
              <td>
                  <asp:TextBox ID="txtCountry" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
              </td>
          </tr>
      </table>

Hope it will help to you.

Solution 2

Use HTML Table and respective tr and tds. And if you are displaying multiple user details then use gridview to bind the data from db
