You would store the values in at least two database tables. One table holds information about the item that you are liking/disliking. You keep track of the counter here. Another table would record whether the user liked/disliked an item.

Then write code to enable/disable the like buttons depending on the user.

Hi Mani508, 
    The best way to do this is using ASP.NET AJAX or 
    Create a webservice in .net and call it using JQuery Ajax

DataBase

    You need 3 tables to do this
    User table(with user id as primary key)
    Item table(with item id as primary key)
    User_Item_map(with item id, user id and value columns)(item id,user id as composite key)

Conditions to be checked

* Check if user has already liked or disliked the item from the database(In Page_load event)
* if liked or disliked disable the buttons
* else enable the buttons showing the counter of the likes and dislikes
* if any button is clicked call the service using ASP.NET AJAX or JQuery Ajax,update the database, increment the appropriate counter and disable the like buttons
