More information:

This project exhibits a simple approach to maintaining control state in an ASP.NET 2.0 custom web control. Control state is a new construct within ASP.NET 2.0 and it is really nothing more than view state, however, it is view state with a significant advantage. That advantage is that other developers using your control cannot disable control state as they can view state.
