I know that the view state approach is limited to only a specific page. When we navigate to another page then information is lost. Other than this limitation are there any limitations with view state?

    I don’t know if these are exactly “limitations”, but they are certainly reasons you should avoid viewstate for certain things.

    1. All data in ViewState is uploaded and downloaded with every page request.
    2. Data in ViewState is not secure since it is available client side.
    3. All items in viewstate must be serializable.
    4. You cannot store server side resource in ViewState (think database connection, etc.) because each request the items are generated fresh (THEY ARE NOT THE SAME OBJECTS)

    What are you trying to use ViewState for?
