Hi!
I have a page that generates a lot of HTML, and I am considering different
solutions to constrain the amount of
code that is sent back to the client.
One thing I thought about is the viewstate which is fairly large for this
application.
Does anybody have any experience on storing viewstate in Session.
I know that sessionState has a mode for storing inProc, SqlServer etc, but I
doesn't seem like viewstate has come this far yet.
I know there are methods to override to do this, but will it work out you
think?
Cheers,
// Joakim W

IMHO - keeping Viewstate in Session is going to require a good chunk
of memory on the server. I think it would work for a small number of
users - but not knowing your app or user base its hard to tell where
the line would be drawn. I'm sure it would limit your scalabiity.
Check out "The ASP.NET View State" http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...2/cuttingedge/
There is a discussion on keeping viewstate server side and some pros
and cons.

Kind of like storing a box inside a box, don't you think? Perhaps just the

This is certainly possible. Before making this determination, look at the
actual size of the code sent by getting the file size out of your Internet
cache. You may find that, despite looks, it is only a few kb.
Does anybody have any experience on storing viewstate in Session.
If you mean actually storing that string in Session? Hold out your knuckles!
Whack! Whack! Whack!
If you mean storing the info/variables, sure, you can do that. Consider some
different store, however, as it is unlikely you are using all of the info
with every page hit. Only store stuff in session that is used very
frequently. The rest should be put in a persistant store, like a database.
I know that sessionState has a mode for storing inProc, SqlServer etc, but
I doesn't seem like viewstate has come this far yet.

ViewState will NEVER come "this far". ViewState is a method of working state
into a stateless environment. As the entire contents are stored in an
encrypted string, you do not need anything else to complete a transaction
with the user. You do not need session state, you do not need
authentication. Etc. Etc. It is not the best method for every application,
however.
The basic idea here is ViewState is meant to be sent to the client, period.
Storing in Session, SQL Server, et al, puts the data on the Server, not the
client. This is not the design goal for ViewState.

This article: http://www.aspalliance.com/articleVi...x?aId=135&pId=
has very brief examples showing how to override
SavePageStateTo PersistenceMedi um() and
LoadPageStateFr omPersistenceMe dium()
to store viewstate somewhere other than a hidden form field. You can
use a database, or store it in the Session collection.

Hi all,
I am trying to save the viewstate in a session instead of storing it in a
hidden of the webpage which is default. This because of performance reasons.
When I use line 2 in combination with line 4, my application works. Using
Line 1 in combination with line 3 (and of course renaming httpSessionState1
to httpSessionState) results in the error as mentioned below.

Am I correct in assuming ViewState is cleared on each PageLoad or is my
