What does the "EnableViewState" property do? Why would I want it on or off?..

Answer / swapna

Enable ViewState turns on the automatic state management
feature that enables server controls to re-populate their
values on a round trip without requiring you to write any
code.

This feature is not free however, since the state of a
control is passed to and from the server in a hidden form
field.

You should be aware of when ViewState is helping you and
when it is not. For example, if you are binding a control
to data on every round trip, then you do not need the
control to maintain it's view state.

ViewState is enabled for all server controls by default. To
disable it, set the EnableViewState property of the control
to false.
