but still there is an entry of ViewState on the page...

Is there any way to remove entry from page.

We can not remove the entry entirely from the page.Because ASP.NET uses it for its own purposes also.

Remove the form Tag from the page(if the page has only links) to entirely remove viewstate from the page.
