I understand that you can now create MVC-specific user controls, but will my existing standard ASCX user controls work in an MVC view?

I've been using MVC frameworks for a short while now and I really like how the concerns are separated out. I've got into a bad habit of letting the controllers do quite a bit of work. So I'm really looking for some advice. When I first started using MVC I quite often had the controller doing manipulation on the models after database w...
