Do you have a good experience with a control library? Something that is kind of robust, well documented, consistent (across different controls) and quite well integrated into the Visual Studio.

I’ll second the vote for Telerik. Their controls for the most part "just work" and their support has been excellent. I primarily use their forums and I still receive a response within a day (unlike some other vendors who barely seem to notice that they’ve even got a forum).
It also feels like they’ve actually spent time trying out a lot of the ways customer’s will use their controls. The documentation and support reflects it. They aren’t perfect, though. One issue that they had in the past, and that they’ve addressed in the latest releases (what they were calling their "Prometheus" controls, now just "Rad Controls for ASP.NET AJAX") is the performance of the controls. In previous releases they were definitely a bit sluggish (I’m thinking specifically of their RadGrid and RadEditor). Now they’re noticeably faster (esp. the RadEditor – it loads MUCH faster).
Overall I wouldn’t think twice of recommending them.
