Is there any limitation on view state size.?

Hi,< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

I have recorded a script using webtest.  Then I have attached .csv file to it for parameterisation.  But while playing back the script, the data is not getting saved.  I suspect size of the view state is very large.  Is there any limitation on the view state .  If yes how do we handle the view state that is more than view state that is more than the maximum size.  

 

FYI I have attached below the code snippet.  (It’s a bit huge but view state variable occupies most of it.  The size of it has grown to 38007)

And when I run the script, the status of the scrit is “Passed”!. 

 

Can anybody help me on this.

 

Following is the code snippet.

 

(I couldnt put the viewstate variable as this forum is not accepting this thread with the such a large description)
