On clicking ajaxcontroltoolkit tag, I noticed most of the questions are unanswered. It seems nobody cares about this toolkit or nobody uses it.
I was searching for a solution to famous character duplication after refocus in masked edit extender. I found many questions on that asked nearly 3 years ago. All are unanswered and problem still exists. It's just incredible!
What are your thoughts on this toolkit. Is it just a buggy toolkit that is not supported well? What are the other choices? What do you use?

There are many client-side JavaScript UI frameworks, to name a few:
jQuery UI
jQuery Tools
Kendo UI
But if you want a framework that integrates with server-side ASP.NET Web Forms, than you need to look elsewhere, for example at Telerik ASP.NET Ajax Controls. Google for more.
As for the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit, it's open source and hosted on Codeplex. Is your issue listed on the Issue Tracker? If not, try reporting it there if you think it's a bug. Your last resort may be to contact one of the project contributors.

I'm looking for a good video conference API I could use in my ASP .NET MVC 2 web app. I would like something that is easy to use and that is compatible with as many browsers as possible, on Mac and PC. I found TokBox, but it uses flash and it doesn't integrate too well in an aspx view. But something very similar would be great: I want to be able to connect random people easily with sessions and streams, kind of like ChatRoulette.
This answer should help you. Basically the author suggest to use the draft of HTML Media Capture of Html5.
Also the second answer in the same question ave a nice suggestion imo.

What would be a good 3rd party control package for ASP.NET, easy to use without compromising full functionality? What I noticed from some research is Telrik and DevExpress being fairly popular. Any suggestions?
I can say that in my opinion stay clear of Infragistics.
It has been our experience that their documentation is absolutely terrible. The controls are bug-ridden so be ready for the patches. Their support is slow and ineffective; and it seems like management really does not concern themselves with customers opinions; but would rather preach to you about why you, the customer are incorrect, and why they are so right.
I am concerned with the comments here about Telerik's documnetation being incomplete.
I also am also concerned about the concentration on certain controls rather than the cmany/suite as a whole.
I've used Telerik extensively for business/data web apps and would recommend them.
The RadGrid control is a vast improvement on the standard ASP.NET Grid and you can develop data-driven sites with neat UIs very rapidly.
If your focus is RAD and neat UIs with minimal coding, then I'd say go for Telerik.
I'd say Telerik too.. very easy to use and lots of functionality. Try their demos.
Telerik is what i'd recommend too.
Using it in enterprise domain and in addition to quality of the components, their support is pretty good.
Telerik is the way to go. The documentation isn't always complete but there is a huge community around these controls, which is very helpful.

I'd like to build a dashboard interface for an application I am working on. I want users to logon and get a birds eye view of the status of applications, outstanding issues, etc. I'm wondering if there are some good, pre-made controls rather than writing these from the ground up?
You could look at Telerik's RadDock control for ASP.NET AJAX. It is not free ;)
For graphs and charts I would first try out the built in charting library in Visual Studio 2010.
If you cant use 2010 (even the express edition) for some reason then look at the charting controls for VS2008 MS Charting

I have searched the stackoverflow site to find if someone has recommended any good books that show how jQuery can be used with asp.net. All the threads lead to only good jQuery books.
Can anyone recommend me a good book that shows how to use jquery with asp.net? Any upcoming books are also ok
I think you should check this book written by a MVP and it has some very good reviews. 51 Tips, Tricks and Recipes using jQuery and ASP.NET Controls. Here's what the book says
In the first book of its kind on using jQuery with ASP.NET Controls, I show you how to use jQuery to solve some common and not-so-common client-side programming challenges while dealing with ASP.NET Controls. This EBook is the result of my practical experience of using jQuery with ASP.NET controls, all in the pursuit of demonstrating techniques to resolve Client-Side programming challenges, quickly
I think that "jQuery for ASP.NET Developers" book by Wrox is a good one.
Also look at "51 Tips, Tricks and Recipes using jQuery and ASP.NET Controls" ebook.

What is the best FREE Datepicker that can be dropped into an ASPX application?
jQuery UI Datepicker
ASP.NET AJAX has a good one too
There's an excellent, free package that will AJAX enable the calendar control for use as a date picker.
Here's the video tutorial: http://www.asp.net/LEARN/ajax-videos/video-124.aspx
I use Basic Date Picker and swear by it. We use the pay version, but there is a free version which probably includes all of the features that we use.
Visual studio has one built-in.
I've long used Excentric's World UI tools: http://www.eworldui.net/
It's not an ASP.NET solution, but there's a great Javascript date picker at http://www.frequency-decoder.com/2006/10/02/unobtrusive-date-picker-widgit-update. You implement it by setting a couple of CSS classes on an input field. Have used this many times and think it's great!
Ra-Ajax Calendar control a great sample of usage is the Ajax Calendar Starter-Kit which can bee seen here which I think shows the flexibility of it quite well...
And it's LGPL meaning Free of Charge...
