hi

asp.net 3.5

I see in my page that the hidden field viewstate is relativly very large,
and are looking for ways to reduce it. Because I think it can improve
ranking.

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="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"
/>
</div>

I've already set enableviewstate to false in the master page. This page
(deafult.apsx) has a 3 custom controls: one is control holding the login
control etc. The 2 other controls are based on gridview and loginview

any suggestions?

You keep the data in session variables, load the controls from the
session variables, and disable viewstate on the controls.

I don't know what you mean about ranking, but disabling viewstate is
about not transmitting data for a control on the round trip, which
speeds up transmition time of the page.

You can store viewstate on the server - for instance, in a database.

Here's a few search results, in no particular order...

how do I disable viewstate? I've already set enableviewstate to false in the
master page and on the 3 custom controls. Depsite that I see the hidden
field viewstate in the source containing over 600 characters.

Just because something was done on a master page does that mean that it
applies to all pages.
 
I applied the enableviewstate="false" to the page as well but still get that
hidden viewstate field

I know it's part of the asp.net design and cannot be completely removed from
the pages. But hope it's possible to reduce it from about 600 chars to under
100.....
