Disable Viewstate on all Controls but still be able to Enable

[Skoder]

Hey... simple question, which is the best way to disable the viewstate on all controls, soo i only have to define which one should be enabled ? I guess if i put enableviewstate="false" in the top directive .. I will not be able to turn any controls on again ? Soo should i then just put the enableviewstate="false" in the tag ? or tag ? Martin :confused:

Hi Martin, AFAIK, in the web page you either disable the ViewState of the entire web page by setting the EnableViewState="false" in the Page directive or you do that on a per-control basis. I guess that you here might want to simply disable the ViewState of the container and also want to enable the ViewState of a specific child control. Unfortunately, when you set the EnableViewState of the container to false, the ViewState data of all child controls will not be persisted even their EnableViewState properties are set to true. So if you want to keep the ViewState of a child control enabled, you might need to make sure that the ViewState of its container is enabled also.
