Should I use Session State or Viewstate to store and save information in asp? [duplicate]

Question

Viewstate or sessionstate? This is to save the variables to a specific user then display them on the output page. Btw, these variables will be saved on atleast 5 different pages before it's outputted, so I want to be able to store them. Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Viewstate typically stores data for a single page. Session state stores data for a session. If you are planning (as you have said) on persisting values over a several pages I would go with session state.
