ASP.net: Viewstate II

A while ago I posted an entry with links to a couple of blog entries from other people relating to ASP.net Viewstate. The blogger who created the first entry has a new related posting titled Truly Understanding Viewstate, the Comment Index which basically points everyone in the direction of a document someone else has prepared that aggregates and documents the 250+ (yes, 250+!!) comments that ended up being attached to the original entry. What a bloody fantastic resource. It's things like that which make me realise just how useful a resource blogs are. 10 or even 5 years ago, this level of information simply was not available other than in the "dead tree" format and that was invariably based on what a book author/publishers opinion of what needed covering was.

It's things like this which make me wish that there was a viable micro-payment model in existence as I'd happily chuck a little bit of money in the direction of both of those people by way of thanking them for providing such useful content.

The blogger who originally posted the Viewstate entry also has a series dedicated to ASP.net and Dynamic Controls which is also well worth a read for anyone who's dabbling with ASP.net and controls. Even if you're lucky enough to not have to deal with anything but controls declared in the .aspx file, it's well worth a read to deepen your overall understanding of the way ASP.net works.
