This is a neat package of custom controls if anybody is interested.

There is a DatePicker that exposes SelectedDate as nullable. Very handy in binding to nullable database fields.

Among them there is also a DropDownList that can finally be easily bound to multiple database fields without UNIONs etc. It exposes ItemDataBound event I often needed and properly saves ListItem attributes in ViewState (as opposed to regular DropDownList). There is also a DropDownList that can be bound to xml to show structure hierarchically.

GridView that displays paging like "Displaying page 1 of 5, items 1 to 10 of 50" regardless of data source which can even be a paged ObjectDataSource. It has some client side row highlighting. Learning curve is none for those who already use GridView.

Registration Form could be time real saver for those who have to create them all over again. It also preselects country based on IP address.

I hope they can save you some time as well.
