title: Preventing ASP.NET viewstate from being transmitted in querystring via form GET
body: <p>I believe I have disabled the view state on all controls as well as the page itself, but the querystring still contains the __viewstate and __eventvalidation parameters.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on what to check and/or change? Is there something I may not know about viewstate (very likely) that is causing the view state to be transmitted in the form GET method?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Kevin</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I am using the GET method because I would like the form results to be able to be bookmarked, linked, etc.  This is not possible with Post simply because the form data isn't transmitted via the URL. </p>
  
  <p>And I prefer the viewstate/eventvalidation not shown simply for aesthetic reasons.  </p>
