Abstract

One of the underlying issues in any web application framework is the need to create a consistent and persistent user experience across a set of stateless HTTP requests—something that is handled by state data.

In particular, we describe the view state feature, which is one of the most widely misunderstood and misused features that ASP.NET provides.
