Viewstate

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi,

I created a verry fine site with ASP.net.
But know that it is finished it seems to use a large amount of kb (about 1
100 000kb) on the web.
This all because of the viewstate.
I work with a gridview (50 lines) and in this gridview i use an dropdownlist
with 100 lines.

example:
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="rSnIzp4O9ZksK/NsbEdamg/TRtuZWAR7RNimH+zgYtTneoSR1eIFrj
0R6S1bTKKbIX36J0cMFxVZm43OsV8DCgwnNS5Ndic8cp5ldKuUc7Rl953
5F2s3UKrYE1/U3+9kxwOOdj4xDNqoVl415acLn0/sQZe5Xxr/Zpn8TTNQoNuQ
bCl7CfCx/hLTNPRzjSEMdb+AeBZN8vjoh2nq00zPJmagddpVPJsRAff8OUKBTt

is there an easy way to work around this.

Thanks in advance
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
ViewState is associated with Server controls. As a good practice you should
set the property called "EnableViewState" to false for the control that you
donot wish to handle on Server side and you will see that this will reduce
the quantum of ViewState data being transmitted to and fro.

Let me know, if this helps.

regards,
Joy
