What is the difference between using Viewstates and Sessions ??

Do they do the same thing ??

The reason for doing it this way is so that I don't need to refill the dataset after each postback and bind the datagrid whenever I need to. Doing refills can be very slow if I have many thousands of records.

This way I can work with the dataset and only submit changes to the datasource (as well as updating locally my dataset)

Actually, I've seen some acticles on storing sessions to SQL server. Is this method recommended

CHEERS !!!

Sum Pun,

No, ViewState and Session State are not the same thing. I could explain
it but my explanation wouldn't be as good as the one found in this
article
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnaspnet/html/asp11222001.asp).
You should read the entire article but the area specific to your
question can be found in the "Session State or ViewState?" section of
the article.

Also, for those interested, there is an article on how you can persisit
a Dataset through ViewState at
(http://www.aspfree.com/authors/stephen_rylander/Persist.aspx).
