You are retrieving data but not doing anything with it:

sub Page_Load()

   Dim con As New SqlConnection
   Dim cmd As New SqlCommand

   con.ConnectionString = ///my connection string///
   con.Open()
   cmd.Connection = con
   cmd.CommandText = "select * from det"

   customers.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader() //here we bind data to repeater.
   customers.DataBind();

End sub

Also I would suggest to use code behind file and put your code there as it is way clearer.

Public Sub OnPageLoad()
        Dim con As New SqlConnection
        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand

        con.ConnectionString = String
        cmd.Connection = con
        cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME"
        con.Open()
        customers.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        customers.DataBind()
        con.Close()
End Sub
