If you need ViewState on the control, you can reduce the ViewState impact the GridView has on the page by disabling the ViewState on each row in the PreRender event:

  Private Sub grid_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grid.PreRender

    For Each item As DataGridItem In grid.Items
      item.EnableViewState = False
    Next

  End Sub
