LOL.. long huh

Solution:
put this code in your .cs page

//overwrite the SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium and LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium
protected override void SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium(object viewState)
{

    }

    protected override object LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium()
    {

        return null;

}

// Remove completely after rendering html code
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{

        System.Text.StringBuilder stringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

        System.IO.StringWriter stringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter(stringBuilder);

        HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);

        foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)

            ctrl.RenderControl(htmlWriter);

        String html = stringBuilder.Replace("/>", ">").ToString();

        int intViewStart = html.IndexOf("
        int intViewFinish = html.IndexOf(">", intViewStart) + 1;

        string strViewTag = html.Substring(intViewStart, intViewFinish – intViewStart);

        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(strViewTag);

        html = html.Replace(strViewTag, "");

        output.Write(html);

}

and WALA! its gone!!
