enableviewstate=false, still viewstate information is added

[Ravikanth[MVP]]

Hi

Even though the Viewstate has been disabled, ASP.NET
still uses about twenty bytes for Viewstate.

Not only can you disable Viewstate at the page level, but
you can also disable Viewstate at the control level. For
example, the following code disables Viewstate for a
ListBox control:


<asp:listbox EnableViewState="false" id="ListBox1"
runat="server" Rows="10"></asp:listbox>

You can also disable Viewstate for the entire application
in the web.config file:


<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages buffer="true"
EnableViewState="true" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

Hmm...I've added that information to my web.config file, still I get this
much viewstate information:

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDwxMDAzNDU0NTMwOztsPHJlcFF1

That seems as an awful lot of information! It only happens when I use
checkboxlist

[sultan zahir khan]

check the default viewstate settings of these controls

[Christian H]

Well, they are enabled by default, but I've set the enableViewState=false on
all of my controls.
This is really a mystery to me..

You will notice that the viewstate gets smaller as you put controls with
enableviewstate = false.

Mind that the page itself also as viewstate.

Also, if you are not using viewstate whatsoever... perhaps would be better to
use HTML controls instead of WebControls.
