ViewState is a mechanism to maintain state in ASP.net pages. HTTP is a stateless protocol. So we can maintain state either on server or client using sessions, cookies, hidden variables, URL, etc.

ViewState is a hidden field maintained by ASP.Net to contain page data.

Yes, Dataset can also be stored in ViewState but this is not recommended due to overhead of managing a bulk data in ViewState.

ViewState is a process which allow the state of the object to be stored in the hidden field viewstate is stored at client side i.e.viewstate is used to preserv the value of the object between postback.

This is part of the State Management.

Yes. Because Dataset is Serializable. Any object that is serializable can be stored in a ViewState.

View state is of maintaining the state of the object until the page is destroyed. In the sense viewstate maintains the state of the object in all the postbacks. Dataset can be stored in viewstate.
