    Benefits of using Viewstate are as following:-

    • No server resources are required because state is in a structure in the page code.
       
    • Simplicity.
       
    • States are retained automatically.
       
    • The values in view state are hashed, compressed, and encoded, thus representing a higher state of security than hidden fields.
       
    • View state is good for caching data in Web frame configurations because the data is cached on the client.

    Limitations of using Viewstate are as following: -

    • Page loading and posting performance decreases when large values are stored because view state is stored in the page.
       
    • Although view state stores data in a hashed format, it can still be tampered because it is stored in a hidden field on the page. The information in the hidden field can also be seen if the page output source is viewed directly, creating a potential security risk.

    Below is sample code of storing values in view state.

    this.ViewState["EnterTime"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
