You can set it in Page directive or web.config as well.
<pages buffer="true|false"
enableSessionState="true|false|ReadOnly"
enableViewState="true|false"
enableViewStateMac="true|false"
autoEventWireup="true|false"
smartNavigation="true|false"
pageBaseType="typename, assembly"
userControlBaseType="typename"
validateRequest="true|False"/>
Even though docs claim the default is false, it is actually true.See:
