Hi i have planned to design a dc to ac conveter with 12vDC input and 230VA output, Please guide me how can i design inverter without transformer?

That's like asking for an airplane without wings!

A rocket is an airplane without wings: it's terribly inefficient, complex and expensive.

So where does the high voltage come from to begin with? 20 car batteries in series, capacitor/diode voltage multiplier, etc, etc? After you get the high voltage, the H-bridge sounds like the best bet to chop it up and reverse the polarity.

WOW! I missed the VA tag. Looked at it only as VAC. I guess a dry cell wouldn't quite do it either, would it? Have an appointment to get my eyes checked.

The transformer is the most expensive part of a DC to AC inverter, If it were possible to make one without a transformer someone would have already done so. And they would probably be very rich.

It is possible to do without a transformer (but you do need an inductor). Make a step up converter to 325VDC then use and H-bridge to invert it to 230VAC. If you can get the boost converter to run in the MHz region, the inductor could be quite a bit smaller and less expensive then a 12V to 230V transformer.
