disable ViewState ?

[George Ter-Saakov]

on my page I have
<%@ Page Language="C#" EnableViewState="false"%>

But in HTML i still see __VIEWSTATE hidden variable.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="......" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="/wEPDwUJMTQ4MzQwNDAwZGQTxfqLHt6P7WAXU/Mbh/hWT54/7Q==" />
</div>

why is that and how can i disbale ViewState completelly?

I am using NET 2.0

thanks

something you can do is to look at the trace output for that page by
enabling tracing in the web.config. The trace output will show the size in
bytes for each control's viewstate. There could be a control in the page
that doesn't inherit it's settings from the page itself that you can then
try turning off the viewstate for that control.

It will be always there. Do you think an extra Kbyte will affect your page
performance? You will find yourself in a lot of scenarios where you do want
ViewState.

It's generated by/for the <form runat="server" ... >

the only way to remove it is to take out the form tag, which won't work for
most aspx pages.

trace=true is a great idea, incase I'm wrong :)

Thanks everyone for a suggestions.
Not like extra 10 bytes going to make a difference but I just like my staff
to be clean and if I said that I do not want a Viewstate I mean it and want
..NET 2.0 to respect it :)

You will save a lot of time and nerves if you will respect asp.net too.

So, what this do:

<%@ Page EnableViewState="false" %>

If it doesn't get rid of the 10 pages of ViewState text on my web form,
what's the point? This page displays a DataGrid and I don't see any reason
to want ViewState -- especially since it's transferring thousands of bytes of
text.

If you disable viewstate, you won't have the 10 pages. You will still have
the __VIEWSTATE hidden variable but it will be much smaller. And you can
always disable viewstate for controls individually.
