ViewState Property (ClientSideEvents)

Gets a dictionary of state information (StateBag) that allows you to save and restore the view state of a server control across multiple requests for the same page.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Protected ReadOnly Property ViewState As StateBag

C#

protected StateBag ViewState {get;}

Remarks

A server control's view state is the accumulation of all its property values. In order to preserve these values across HTTP requests, ASP.NET server controls use this property, which is an instance of the StateBag class, to store the property values. The values are then passed as a variable to an HTML hidden input element when subsequent requests are processed. For more information about saving server control view state, see Maintaining State in a Control.
