No, there's nothing inherently specific to .NET with regard to these
controls. However, you won't find much that's directly analogous to them for
CF for several reasons.
When you program ASP.NET in Visual Studio.NET, the programming model is more
similar in many ways to traditional Windows programming than web
programming, and these controls work within that model. In CF, programmers
tend to work a little "closer to the metal", so they don't need controls
that handle state the way it's handled in .NET with postback forms and
VIEWSTATE.
There are plenty of custom tags available for generating user interface
elements, though.
