Examples

The following code example shows how to use the MaxPageStateFieldLength property.

// Get the current MaxPageStateFieldLength property value.
Console.WriteLine(
    "Current MaxPageStateFieldLength value: '{0}'",
    pagesSection.MaxPageStateFieldLength);

// Set the MaxPageStateFieldLength property to 4098.
pagesSection.MaxPageStateFieldLength = 4098;
' Get the current MaxPageStateFieldLength property value.
Console.WriteLine( _
    "Current MaxPageStateFieldLength value: '{0}'", _
    pagesSection.MaxPageStateFieldLength)

' Set the MaxPageStateFieldLength property to 4098.
pagesSection.MaxPageStateFieldLength = 4098

Remarks

Page and control view state is stored in hidden view-state fields when the page or control is rendered. If the length of the data stored exceeds the MaxPageStateFieldLength value, then the data is split between multiple view-state fields.
