Maximum View State for a postback

Am dealing with a web page written by someone else. I don't have the source code so can't change it now.

Issue, the viewstate is 9.5 million characters long. It saves out to over 9MB.

The page has a check box that does an auto postback.

When it does that, the page errors and tosses an exception:
Error in Application ErrorSystem.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Exception of type System.Web.HttpUnhandledException was thrown. ---> System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded. at System.Web.HttpRequest.GetEntireRawContent() at System.Web.HttpRequest.FillInFormCollection() at System.Web.HttpRequest.get_Form() at System.Web.UI.Page.GetCollectionBasedOnMethod() at System.Web.UI.Page.DeterminePostBackMode() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() --- End of inner exception stack tr Code: -1

So my question would be, what is the maximum postback size you can have?

I guess it relies on the value you got in your web.config

Try this to set it higher:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="15360" />

They are bringing back approx 35,000 records that are being put into 2 ddl. When first designed, these only had up to 100. Business changed and suddenly, they are seeing quite a bit more.
