Even when on the page, the EnableViewState property is disabled, I am still seeing some viewstate existing on the page:
'<input type='hidden' name='__VIEWSTATE' id='__VIEWSTATE' value='VkBAB3n5LZYtY+nTzk1vEu1P/6QLf4qzFIKzpFRJe3DMf8UseUA/1RsO409HJX4QhkROSP0umoJvatjK/q+jXA==' />'
My question is why?
This could be controls that are using ControlState. Any control that has control state will ignore your ViewState settings.
