Conditional-CSS
A tool that will generate browser specific CSS for you and package it all up in a C# HttpHandler (ASHX) so that it will deliver only the CSS for the browser that makes the request. Interesting idea to get around having to use browser hacks and still have all your code in one file for easy maintenance.

CSSTidy
"CSSTidy is an opensource CSS parser and optimiser. It is available as executeable file (available for Windows, Linux and OSX) which can be controlled per command line and as PHP script (both with almost the same functionality).
In opposite to most other CSS parsers, no regular expressions are used and thus CSSTidy has full CSS2 support and a higher reliability."

Number 2: If possible, do NOT use the standard Asp.Net controls.
That's right. The standard asp.net controls are designed for rapid development and not page performance. They allow you to design pages that grab and display data very quickly but their actual performance suffers because of the extra overhead which is there for ease and speed of development time and not page execution speed.
Instead, create either a User Control or even better yet a Web Custom Control which is by far the fastest performance wise and really quite easy to create and use.
