Every
AspDotNet form has a hidden field that stores all the view state of the form.
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDwtMTE1MTIwMDUz" />
Actually, it is much much longer
This view is represented by
StateBag object.
--
The
ViewState variable is a Base64 representation of a serialization of the
StateBag, so the larger the page's objects, the longer the
ViewState. --
