Why I can't add a user control to the "layout.master"?

Problem: I create a user control in the folder "Controls" of the mojoPortal.Web-vs2008 and add it the "layout.master" as follows, but it doesn't work.

<div id="wrapheader">
<portal:SiteTitle id="SiteTitle" runat="server"></portal:SiteTitle>
<portal:SkipLink id="SkipLink1" runat="server" />
<portal:SiteMenu id="SiteMenu1" runat="server"
UseTreeView="false" UseSpanInLinks="true" HideMenuOnSiteMap="false"
Direction="Horizontal" TopLevelOnly="true"></portal:SiteMenu>

<div class="topnav">
<ul>
<portal:WelcomeMessage id="WelcomeMessage" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" ListItemCSS="firstnav" />
<portal:HomeLink id="HomeLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:SiteMapLink id="SiteMapLink2" runat="server" CssClass="sitelink" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:MyPageLink id="MyPageLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:UserProfileLink id="UserProfileLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:MailboxLink id="MailboxLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:MemberListLink id="MemberListLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:RegisterLink id="RegisterLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:SearchInput id="SearchInput1" LinkOnly="True" RenderAsListItem="true" runat="server" />
<portal:LoginLink id="LoginLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:LogoutLink id="LogoutLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
</ul>
</div>
<%-- Add a the top navigation and logo --%>
<div class="topMenuLogoSkin">
     <portal:TopMenuLogo id="TopMenuLogo1" runat="server" />
</div>
</div>

Have you recompiled after creating your user control?

Do you get any kind of error when loading your page?

Your user control should have your own namespace and register it before you use.
