Ext 1.x to 2.x - DirectMethod - ViewState, ViewStateMode

[baeseuser]

In Ext v1.x we have direct methods and direct events, on the same page, where we alter the ViewState object. For example:

[DirectMethod(ViewStateMode=ViewStateMode.Enabled)]
public void DoThis()
{
    ViewState.Add("MyKey", "Data");
}

protected void DoThat(object sender, DirectEventArgs e)
{
    ViewState.Add("MyKey", "Data2");
}

It appears in Ext v2.x, this is not possible with direct methods as an error is generated when building the application with the code above:

Error	9	An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.UI.Control.ViewStateMode.get'	C:\stuff1\stuff2\test\main.aspx.cs	201	37	test

Removing "(ViewStateMode=ViewStateMode.Enabled)" takes care of the compilation, but trying to access the value from ViewState always returns whatever value we set in the direct event "DoThat" in this case. I have tampered with the page's ResourceManager, setting DisableViewState="false". Also I've tried using ViewStateMode="Enabled" for controls that are used in direct methods but there seems to be no affect.

What would be the proper way to handle this situation? Is there a setting or attribute I'm missing?

1. Set DisableViewState="false" for ResourceManager
2. Use Ext.Net.ViewStateMode.Enabled instead ViewStateMode.Enabled otherwise compilator will use 'System.Web.UI.ViewStateMode'
