Can I place ASP.NET user controls on pages without a control declaration?

I would like to put user controls on pages without registering the tag at the top of the page. For example:

<p>some text</p>
<myname:mycontrol runat="server" />

Is this possible? I've heard that tag declarations can be done in web.config... is this true?

If so, any idea which .NET framework versions support this?

Thanks

in .net 2.0 web.config :

<pages>
    <controls>
    <add tagPrefix="MYPREFIX" namespace=="MyNamespace.Stuff" assembly="MyAssembly" />
