Hi Alok, View state is the method that the ASP.NET page framework uses to preserve page and control values between round trips. When the HTML markup for the page is rendered, the current state of the page and values that must be retained during postback are serialized into base64-encoded strings. This information is then put into the view state hidden field or fields. View state is used automatically by the ASP.NET page framework to persist information that must be preserved between postbacks. This information includes any non-default values of controls. You can also use view state to store application data that is specific to a page. Refer http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/ViewState-In-ASP.NET.aspx Thanks
