You could use editor templates. Put your ascx control in ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/SomeControl.ascx. Then inside your main View (aspx page) include the template like so (assuming your view is strongly typed to CategoryFormViewModel):

<%= Html.EditorForModel("SomeControl") %>

instead of

<% Html.RenderPartial("SomeControl", Model) %>
