I have a simple RadGrid (Q2 2009) instance that does its databinding on the client side using a web service. My problem is with the amount of viewstate that the grid generates.

My grid has 8 columns. Of those, 5 are data bound columns, 2 button columns and 1 is a template column. I have tried removing these columns in various combinations but to no avail.

The grid looks to be creating about 40-50KB of viewstate on page load (before the grid calls the web service to get its data). I do not need to persist viewstate data in my current scenario.

I have tried to disable viewstate with EnableViewState=false on 1) the page 2) the user control 3) the radgrid itself. None of these seem to impact the volume of viewstate that the control generates.
