Answer:

ViewState allows the state of objects (serializable) to be stored in a hidden field on the page. ViewState is transported to the client and back to the server, and is not stored on the server or any other external source. ViewState is used to retain the state of server-side objects between postabacks.

What is said above is correct but one point "is not stored on the server or any other external source" may be corrected.because by default the viewstate is stored on clientside to reduce the overhead on the server and it is recommended as well.we can store the viewstate in session and external sources if viewstate is very high to improve the performance.

Hi

View state is a client side state management technique.
View state stores the values in the html hidden fields.
These values are present only in the page level.
