title: asp.net c# MVC: How do I live without ViewState?
body: <p>I am just looking into converting WebForms to MVC:</p>
  
  <p>In .net MVC, what concepts make ViewState something thats not required?</p>
  
  <p>If a form is posted back on iteself etc (ie a postback)? how does the page/usercontrol maintain its state?</p>
  
  <p>What tricks are people doing to maintain some kind of state and not resort to session state?</p>
  
  <p>Surely, a completely stateless environment cant exist?</p>
