View State

While reading the official training kit for 70-515 exam I came across this text: “With view state, data is stored within controls on a page. For example, if a user types an address into a TextBox and view state is enabled, the address will remain in the TextBox between requests.”. If such statements can be found in recommended study guide, it should not come as a surprise, that confusion about the way ASP.NET Web Forms tries to cope with inherent statelessness of HTTP is so common… ;)
