ASP.Net Session

Question

I am wanting to store the \"state\" of some actions the user is performing in a series of different ASP.Net webforms. What are my choices for persisting state, and what are

Answer 1

Short term information, that only needs to live until the next request, can also be stored in the ViewState. This means that objects are serialized and stored in the page sent to the browser, which is then posted back to the server on a click event or similar. Then the ViewState is decoded and turned into objects again, ready to be retrieved.
