Move viewstate to bottom of the page

                                     Recently i have got a problem with in my application..That  is index page having 44,0000(nearly 9 pages ) characters length of viewstate .Hmmm.....I would like to move all the .net stuff __VIEWSTATE to the bottom of the page.

      

                                        The reason is That  page would be much more search engine friendly and it would render faster in the browser.So i have implemented fuctionality to render the viewstate on bottom of the page .I have overrided the "RenderControl" event in master page.here is the code



///

/// Code for moving the Viewstate to bottom of the page

///


///


public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)

{

using (System.IO.StringWriter stringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter())

{

using (HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter))

{

base.Render(htmlWriter);

string html = stringWriter.ToString();

int beginPoint = html.IndexOf("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"__VIEWSTATE\"")

{

int endPoint = html.IndexOf("/&gt;", beginPoint) + 2;

string viewstateInput = html.Substring(beginPoint, endPoint - beginPoint);

html = html.Remove(beginPoint, endPoint - beginPoint);

int formEndStart = html.IndexOf("") - 1;

if (formEndStart &gt;= 0)

{

html = html.Insert(formEndStart, viewstateInput);

}

}



writer.Write(html);

}

}



}





Copy this code and paste into master page .run the application .Now you can see _viewstate renders in bottom of the page .
