What is better?
Do you not know? or Don't you know?
Did you not know? or Didn't you know?
Will you not know? or Won't you know?
I saw both. Are there not rules very clear about this? Thank you very much.

IMO neither one is better or worse than the other. The former is more formal, and is often used to express greater surprise. 
However, I have to admit that the question "Will you not know?" doesn't come up very often. The future is a very uncertain place.

Francisko1:What is better?Both sentances are equally correct, however "Do you not know" comes across as quite formal. In conversation one would more likely hear "don't" "didn't" and "won't".
Do you not know? or Don't you know?
Did you not know? or Didn't you know?
Will you not know? or Won't you know?
