I seem to remember that the reason why viewstate is at the top of the page, is because if the page posts back before it finishes rendering at least the internal state of the page on the server can restore it's state correctly. If you have the viewstate at the end of the page and it hasn't finished rendering (i.e the viewstate has not been rendered) before the screen posts back then you are up a certain creek without a paddle...

For that reason alone I would not recommend anyone use this method.

Thanks for the observation Kinlan....never would've guessed that it could be a problem.

If ViewState (and ControlState) is used correctly, this should not be needed. People have problems with ViewState because they shove any old data in there, when normally just a dash of ControlState is really needed.
