SYMPTOMS
By default, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET creates an InitializeComponent function when you use Microsoft Visual C# .NET to create a new Microsoft ASP.NET Web project. This function is used to associate Event objects with controls. To view the code, expand the generated code in Web Form Designer. You will notice a declaration similar to the following: private void InitializeComponent {               this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

} In some Visual Studio .NET configurations, if you change the enableViewState property of a page, the code in the InitializeComponent function is deleted.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:  Before you create a new project, do the following:  In Visual Studio .NET, click Options on the Tools menu. Expand HTML Designer, and then click General. Under Start HTML pages in, Start Active Server Pages in, and Start Web Form Pages in, click to select HTML View, and then click OK.</ol> </li> Create a new Visual C# .NET ASP.NET Web Application project. When the form opens in HTML view, close the form.</li> In Solution Explorer, click Show All Files.</li> Double-click the .aspx file. The file opens in HTML view.</li> Switch to Design view, and then add a Web Form Button to the form.</li> Close the form. If you are prompted to save WebForm1.aspx, click Yes.</li> In Solution Explorer, double-click the .aspx file to open it again in HTML view.</li> In Solution Explorer, open the code behind page. To do this, expand Webform1.aspx, and then double-click Webform1aspx.cs.</li>  Expand the generated code in Web Form Designer. The InitializeComponent function appears as one line of code: this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); Note If you have added an event handler for the button, another line of code appears that associates the button with that event. </li> In Solution Explorer, double-click Webform1.aspx. The HTML view appears.</li> In Properties for this page, change the enableViewState value to false.</li> In Solution Explorer, double-click Webform1.aspx.cs. Notice that the code for the InitializeComponent function has been deleted.</li></ol>
