I usually name the controls as txtSomething, ddlSomething, gvSomething.
However, the FXCop indicate it's an error and Pascal convention is preferred.
Any good suggesion on ASP.Net control name convention?
 
Thanks. I following the rules for C# classes. However,

From the first link:

"For these reasons the vast majority of developers no longer need or use
Hungarian Notation. Those that do still use it tend to use it only to prefix
standard controls, so you might still see something like "txtFirstName"
around the net here and there."

For example, when build an asp.net page with a gridview for customer, you
may have a gridview, object data source, etc for customers. How to name them
if not have any meta type string for the control name?

rather old fashioned these days.
I've covered the details about why it's no longer recommended here:

Here are Microsoft's recommended naming conventions:

And here's more info about Pascal case and Camel case:
