State management is a technique to manage a state of an object on different request.
The HTTP protocol is the fundamental protocol of the World Wide Web. HTTP is a stateless protocol means every request is from new user with respect to web server. HTTP protocol does not provide you with any method of determining whether any two requests are made by the same person.
Maintaining state is important in any web application. There are two types of state management system in ASP.NET.
