How does setting EnableViewstate to false really function ?
I have created a simple web application using Visual Studio.NET as follows :
<%@ Page Language="VB" EnableViewstate="false" %>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM Runat="server">
Enter Your Name : <asp:textbox Id = "tbxMessage" Runat="server"/>
<asp:button Id="btnSubmit" Text="Submit" Runat="server"/>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I believe after submitting the page with some text in the text box the page should be re-displayed with the textbox being empty in the manner that a traditional asp page works, since I've set the EnableViewstate attribute to "false".
However, when I've found after submitting the page, that it re-displays the text that was input into the text box after it returns.
When I checked the source of the returned page, it did display a ViewState hidden element in it.
I was trying to understand how exactly "viewstate" works by creating a simple page. Is my understanding of the viewstate as mentioned in the para immediately above incorrect ? What am I missing. Kindly guide me.

Try using EnableViewState="false". Caps sensative. Your understading of viewstate is correct

I have tried setting autocomplete to "false" aswell as "off" for the form. Even tried setting the AUTOCOMPLETE feature directly in IE to unchecked.
None of the above worked. Any other suggestions please. Just can't figure out what's going wrong.

It would erase you history. You may try this as well :
<FORM Runat="server" autocomplete="off">
Enter Your Name : <asp:textbox Id = "tbxMessage" Runat="server"/>
<asp:button Id="btnSubmit" Text="Submit" Runat="server"/>
</FORM>
-set the property for autocomplete="false"
