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 understand that MVC pages have a completely different lifecycle but will, for example, a Page_Load method be invoked as normal when the control is sitting in a view?
If your standard ASCX controls do not have control events. There is no viewstate in MVC so that’ll have to change.
The normal page lifecycle is still executed. E.g. Page load, init, prerender, etc. The main thing is viewstate.
