Just a bit confused about EnableViewState and ViewStateMode. Do these directives control session objects on the server side or the state information that gets stored in a hidden field on the page in the browser? Thank you.

They control if and how controls can store data in the hidden view state field. Both options have nothing to do with session state.

Google knows a lot more about this:
