SharePoint -how to show List data on a custom web part/ web user control?

I am trying every option to show List data on a web part and web user control, but I am not finding any code examples on this. What namespace should I import?

I am using WSS 3.0 and I will later upgrade to MOSS 2007. I am aware of the SmartPart project and I开发者_运维问答 can use it in my environment.
