Difference between ViewState, Session
State and Application State
 ViewState
 ViewState variables are used to preserve data across
page postbacks
 By default, ViewState of one web form is not available
in another web form (available only in that web form)
 ViewState is stored on the page in a hidden field
called_ViewState. Because of this, the ViewState, will
be lost, if you navigate away from the page, or if the
browser is closed
 ViewState is used by all ASP.Net controls to retain
their state across postbacks

 by visiting the web application with multiple instances of
the browser running with a different session-id

 Session State variables are available across all pages,


but only for a given single session
 Session State variables are like Single-User global data
 Only the current session has access to its Session
State

session times out. The default is 20 minutes. This is
configurable in web.config
