PageStatePersister Extensibility with ASP.NET 2.0

One of the new extensibility features in ASP.NET 2.0 is the ability to override and customize how page viewstate is stored and persisted.  With ASP.NET V1.x, viewstate is always stored in a hidden field within the ASP.NET page, and doesn't expose an easy way to place it elsewhere.  With ASP.NET V2.0 you can optionally choose to store it anywhere.  A built-in SessionPageStatePersister is even included built-in to the product if you want to store it on the server in session state.

Milan Negovan has a good post that talks a little more about the extensibility opportunities to use this on his blog here, as well as some of the pros/cons of the different options.

Hope this helps,

Scott

the PageStatePersister is definitly an improvement. what i implemented in there is an complete history object, where you can move your whole history back and foreward. its done, since there is no real history navigation on mobile clients. this class can also navigate with postback status (e.g. paging) and also triggers events. but there are others, where i miss that easy customizeability. Like with the IdSeperator...

Of all the pros and cons that different storage strategies offer, reducing the amount of viewstate you are storing is always a "pro". But before you can reduce it, it helps if you understand exactly how it works, since you may be bloating it without realizing it. I've found that to be a very common problem, so I wrote this rather lengthy article explaining it. Forgive my shameless plug :)

We are using viewstate compression in our projects. The amount of viewstate is reduced by nearly 50%.

The article "Truly Understanding Viewstate"  is very useful for discovering other ways of reducing the viewstate size.
