ViewState is a mechanism for persisting values of certain Server Controls
across PostBacks of a single Page. On the server side, ViewState is a
Collection. On the client side, it is a hidden form field, which contains
compressed text data about what the current values of those Controls are.
When the Page Post Back to itself, the values are compared with the values
posted. It is used both to persist values and in the process of handling
certain client-side events.
