Viewstate wont turn off even after setting it to off !

[robert112]

Hi All,
I have a webpage.aspx and a webusercontrol.ascx with both of them
having viewstate turned off.

Then in my web user control I have got some code reading the request
stream:

Dim str As IO.Stream
Dim strLen As Integer
Dim strRead As Integer

str = Request.InputStream
strLen = Integer.Parse(str.Length.ToString())
Dim strArr(strLen) As Byte
strRead = str.Read(strArr, 0, strLen)

System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(strArr, 0,
strLen).Substring(iStartIndex)

when I put a break point on the last line I get the following output:
"__VIEWSTATE=dDwtNzkxMjYyODQ5Ozs%2BRIdmzZpk4%2FEHqMI3MlRLHut43bA
%3D&asdf=on&asdf=Robert+Hormozi&IncDisplayForm1%3AbtnSubmit=Submit"

I don't want this viewstate string I need what the html code looks
like in plain html. Is there anyway to do that ? Why is viewstate
still on even after I turn it off?

Thanks!

You will always have a relatively short string representing the page itself even if you
turn off the view state on each and every control, on the page, or in web.config.

Don't worry about the 20 or so bytes which remain after you've turned off viewstate.
They don't mean much.
