Disabling ViewState Throughout

[Guest]

I want to disable ViewState for all pages associated with a given MasterPage.
How do I do this? I've tried doing...

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="StdMaster.master.cs"
EnableViewState="false"
Inherits="StdMaster" %>

but I still see ViewState hidden tages in my pages

Even if you set it to false, a viewstate control will be added if your page
has a server side form (ie, <form runat="server">). To be honnest, I'm not
sure why that is and what information is added to the viewstate, i just know
it's true

The page's SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium and
LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium methods might be the only way you have to
completely eliminate the viewstate...

The only way I know is to use a httphandler and remove it from the
output, easy to do if your rendering xhtml. This is one of those
annoying .net things that would be easy to change if we could change the
framework source code and compile it as needed.
