ASP.net: Viewstate
ASP.net is much maligned, but if carefully managed, it can be a very useful part of a web developers toolbox for ensuring performance and UX in a web app. A couple of *very* useful links to posts about viewstate below:
- Truly Understanding Viewstate. Quite a long posting, with a lot of comments attached which also have some value. Well, well worth a read.
- Thoughts on the ASP.NET ViewState. More interesting content with a couple of useful/insightful comments.
- Master Page and PreInit. Not exactly entirely related to Viewstate, but it mentions a "trick" for getting access to controls on a page that has a Master Page associated, in the PreInit stage of the page lifecycle, something that otherwise blows a raspberry at the developer.
