    Set EnableViewState to false on a server control to minimize the size of the ViewState data. By default EnableViewState property is true for server control.
    In ASP.NET when a form is postback to server it reappears in the browser and all the data is available in all form controls. ASP.NET page and controls maintain their state by in hidden form field named _ViewState. By default EnableViewState property is true for server control and sometimes create problem because unnecessary data are stored in this field. To minimize the size of the ViewState data set EnableViewState to false.
