[ Serializable ] public class Student { public string firstName; public string lastName; public Student( string fName string lName) { firstName = fName; lastName = lName; } } Because the Student class is marked as serializable it can be stored in view state: // Storing a student in view state. Student stud = new Student( John  Doe ); ViewState[ CurrentStudent ] = stud; Remember when using custom objects you'll need to cast your data when you retrieve it from view state. // Retrieve a student from view state. Student stud = (Student) ViewState[ CurrentStudent ]; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227551(v=vs.85).aspx http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/ViewState-In-ASP.NET.aspx

Yes you can. The class should be maked as [XMLSerializable] [XMLSerializable] public class myclass { ///class code goes here }
