Hey,
Web server request calls are stateless (http protocol is stateless). That means, server do not really remember what you requested, what you viewed, etc by default. To get around this, we use cookies, session, etc. Viewstate is one of those options.
In case of viewstate, server puts those state information in hidden fields in the page itself( page which is sent to browser).
