I want to use a custom control on a Razor view. for instance:

I had the same demand. Wanted to use custom webcontrol from Razor/MVC page. One should not do that with controls, that is handling postback. You don't have the eventcycle to support that, but if your only demand is to use a 'rendering control', you could instantiate it in razor, and control where the rendering takes place:

@{
  var myControl = new mycontrols.something();
  myControl.myattribute = Model.MyVar;
  mycontrol.RenderControl(new HtmlTextWriter(this.Output));
}
