ViewState allows the state of objects (serializable) to be stored in a hidden field on the page.
It is transported between the client and the server, and is not stored on the server or any other external source. For the most part (or all?) it is used to retain the state of server-side objects between postbacks.

If you know that your label, textbox, datagrid or whatnot does not need to "remember" its data between postbacks I recommend turning it off for that control, it saves time generating the page.
