# EnableViewState in ASP.NET
In this blog, I’m explaining the concept of [enableviewstate](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/734/what-does-the-enableviewstate-property-signify) in asp.net.\
EnableViewState or ViewStateMode is the [property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp) allows [automatic](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/145518/what-automatic-repeat-request-arq) [state management](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/219/state-management-in-asp-dot-net) feature enables server control to repopulate without [writing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12997/5-essential-tips-on-resume-writing-for-business-analysts) any extra code. This feature is not free however, since the state of a control is passed to and from the server in a hidden [form field](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158282/how-to-validate-a-form-field-using-jquery). You should be aware of when [ViewState](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/326/viewstate-in-asp-dot-net) is helping you and when it is not.
##### Example
##### Step 1
Write the code in EnableViewState.aspx:
```
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="EnableViewState.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
```
##### Step 2
Run the [application](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12824/calculator-application-in-android):
##### Step 3
After click on Check button:
In this example one [label control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/301/a-label-control-in-vb-dot-net) disable EnableViewState and another label enable EnableViewState.
