Hi, you cannot use asp.net server control with MVC application because most of them are use viewstate and postback model which is not supported by MVC. These serverside control rely on the post back events and server persisting their state in viewstate (using hidden filed). MVC does not support event base architecture... hope this will help you.

Hi, If your are using ASPX view engine than only tool box show the sever control because VS is only identify extension of page. if the extension is aspx and ascx than VS shows toolbox One more point you can also include asp.net page into MVC application in this page we can use server side control. hope this will help you.
