When I add rad controls to a site that has its own css files linked it messes up the controls. For RadEditor you can choose CssFiles property, but what about other controls? I just tried scheduler but it does not have CssFiles property. Any ideas how to avoid css conflicts for other controls? Thanks.

Hi Kashif Imran,
Browsers apply styles, according to the CSS specification. Since CSS styles are "cascading" by design, theoretically, it is not possible to guarantee conflict-less behavior in all scenarios.
If you are using CSS styles with a very high specificity (e.g. if you use client IDs in the selectors or "!important" after the style property values), they will always override RadControls styles.
You will have to inspect your page with some tool such as Firebug and modify your website styles. Also, make sure that you are familiar with the following:
