title: Completely remove ViewState for specific pages
body: <p>I have a site that features some pages which do not require any post-back functionality. They simply display <em>static</em> HTML and don't even have any associated code. However, since the Master Page has a <code>&lt;form runat="server"&gt;</code> tag which wraps all <code>ContentPlaceHolder</code>s, the resulting HTML always contains  the <strong>ViewState</strong> field, i.e:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input
    type="hidden"
    id="__VIEWSTATE"
    value="/wEPDwUKMjEwNDQyMTMxM2Rk0XhpfvawD3g+fsmZqmeRoPnb9kI="
  /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I tried both variants of setting <code>EnableViewState</code> on page level with no luck at all:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" EnableViewState="false" %&gt;
  &lt;%@ Page Language="C#" EnableViewState="true" %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I realize, that when decrypted, this value of the <code>input</code> field corresponds to the <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> tag which I cannot remove because it is on my master page. However, I would still like to remove the ViewState field for pages that only display static HTML. Is it possible?</p>
