How do you add MVC controls to umbraco?
I know in web forms you copy the aspx file into umbraco's usercontrols folder, and the control's dll file into umbraco's bin folder.
But i dont know how to do this for MVC controls.

I think you need to be more specific on what you mean by MVC control. Regardless, in Umbraco, all 'external' interfaces are defined through the Developer > Macros section.Daniel Imms– Daniel Imms2013-01-17 06:27:42 +00:00Commented Jan 17, 2013 at 6:27

I would recommend reading these to get a handle on how MVC works in Umbraco:

I think you mean one of these two:
1. Child Actions
Read this: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Mvc/child-actions
It works in the same way as child actions in Mvc, just that your controllers need to be SurfaceControllers
2. Macro Partials
If what you need is a simple re-usable user controls, then you only need to use partials. You can create a .cshtml file inside Views/MacroPartials then create login to /umbraco and create a Macro that references that partial.
You can the render it with @Umbraco.RenderMacro("myMacro")
