 Stateless nature of HTTP protocol
 How a web form is processed
 What is ViewState
 The role of ViewState in ASP.Net
 ASP.Net server controls & ViewState
 Primary difference between ASP.Net server
controls and HTML Controls

3
Stateless nature of HTTP Protocol

 Web applications work on HTTP protocol


 HTTP protocol is a stateless protocol, meaning
it does not retain state between user requests

4
How a web form is processed

 Web forms live for barely a moment. When a


request is received
 An instance of the requested web form is created
 Events processed
 Generates the HTML & posted to the client
 The web form is immediately destroyed

5
ViewState

6
The role of ViewState in ASP.Net
 Click the button now, and the value gets
incremented every time we click. So how is this
possible now?
 It is possible because, we are using the ViewState
variable “Clicks” to preserve the data between
requests
 The ViewState data travels with every request and
response between the client and the web server
 ViewState variables are used to preserve data
across page postbacks

7
ASP.Net server controls & ViewState

8
ASP.Net server controls & ViewState
 Upon clicking the button, the value gets incremented
correctly as expected
 This is possible because, TextBox1 is an asp.net server
control, that uses ViewState internally to preserve data
across postbacks
 Because web forms has very short lifetimes, ASP.Net
takes special steps to preserve the data entered in the
controls on a web form
 Data entered in controls is sent with each request and
restored to controls in Page_Init()
 The data in these controls is then available in the
Page_Load(), Button_Click(), and many more events that
occur after Page_Init() event

9
ASP.NET server controls & HTML controls
 The Primary difference is that
 ASP.NET server controls retains state
 HTML controls do not retain state across postbacks

10
ASP.NET server controls & HTML controls
 An HTML control can be converted in ASP.NET server
controls, by adding runat=“server” attribute in the HTML
source as shown below

 ViewState data is serialized into base64-encoded strings,


and is stored in Hidden input field
