Sorry to dissapoint you, but no. Best is to learn and adapt to MVC and forget about WebControls. Personally I don't like anything that writes/generates HTML markup in the backend. It's better to create and populate view models and put all markup in nice and clean Razor views. However, in Alloy Demo Kit there is a HTML Helper called MenuList that you can take a look at to get some ideas:

HTML Helper:

View that uses the helper:
