Hi,

I'm currently looking at reducing the size of the viewstate and store it in a session.
I implemented the first solution i've found here: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems...select=1736999

did anyone else reduce the viewstate in some kind of way ? Any experiences when doing this.

tnx

That's a lot of code to implement instead of just using the SessionPageStatePersister, as mentioned in one of the comments. If using the built-in solution, consider the limitations:

Also, session state persistance will be notably slower in a heavily used server, especially if you're using out-of-process session state (as when using a server farm).

In some cases it may be worthwhile, especially if your users have a slow dial-up connection. If users have a fast connection then I'd just let them pay the price of ViewState in order to ease the load on the server.
