Question

Hi Does viewstate affect performance of application? Thanks.

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi 1.Viewstate stores the state of controls in HTML hidden fields. At times this information can grow in size. 2.This does affect the overall responsiveness of the page thereby affecting performance. The ideal size of a viewstate should be not more than 25-30% of the page size.
