As a quick test I made a page with a regular ASP.NET dropdown and added an event handler to its Init event. Then in that event handler I created a large array of strings and used DataSource and DataBind() to populate the dropdown with the data. When I do this the Viewstate of the page is nearly empty.
But when I do the same thing with a RadComboBox the Viewstate is huge. Is there any way to do a normal data bind with the RadComboBox before Viewstate tracking starts and have it work the same way as the normal ASP.NET controls (preferably without disabling Viewstate on the entire control)?

Actually, even setting EnableViewState="false" on the RadComboBox doesn't make any difference.
