Summary:
Persisting data, particularly object state, in a connectionless environment has always been a challenge. There has always been Session variables in traditional ASP, but those tie user sessions to a thread running on a specific computer, nullifying any plans for real scalability. And you could always write a function to serialize an object and try storing that string in a hidden form field, but again, that was clunky. Now we have ASP.NET, which is much better adept to helping us solve this problem; especially the ability to serialize objects.I’ve found that by using only functions provided by the Framework one can easily persist a Dataset as XML in ASP.NET Viewstate.
