here is another code

To disable a page’s View State, add the code below in the Page class of the page. In this example, the page’s class name is ShowOrdersTablePage. 
C#: 

public ShowOrdersTablePage()
{
    this.Init += new EventHandler(Page_Init);
}
 
private void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    this.EnableViewState = false;
}
 


Visual Basic .NET: 

' Disable the View State in the page.M
Private Sub MyPage_Init_DisableViewState(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
    Me.EnableViewState = False
End Sub

Hmm, I should mention that the first post completely removes all viewstate (you end up with a hidden field on the page called __viewstate, but no value). I must have made this thread in a rush, I will update it now.

ViewState can be disabled at the following levels:
1. Control Level.
2. Page Level.
3. Application Level.

(1) Disable ViewState at Control Level

ViewState can be easily disabled for a particular control by setting EnableViewState property to False.

<asp:TextBox ID = "txtName" runat="server" EnableViewState = "false" />

(2) Disable ViewState at Page Level
ViewState can be disabled for the whole Page i.e. all controls on the Page by setting the EnableViewState property to False in the @Page Directive.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default" EnableViewState = "false" %>

(3) Disable ViewState at Application Level
ViewState can be disabled for the whole Application i.e. all Pages by setting the enableViewState property to False in the pages section of the Web.Config file.

<system.web>
    <pages enableViewState="false">
    </pages>
</system.web>
