title: ASP .NET 2.0 Control State vs ViewState
body: <p>Is the new ControlState feature only applicable to custom controls or is it available for the standard server controls as well?</p>
  
  <p>That is..can you disable ViewState for an entire page with standard controls like Detailsview, Gridview and would it still work? <strong>Does ControlState apply to standard server controls?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Or in order to work with ControlState for standard server controls you have to modify their behavior by creating a new custom GridView/DetailsView?</p>
