Defining ViewState
This is not an exam or homework
The ASP.NET ViewState is a representation of the state of a page when it was last processed on the server. The
ViewState information is stored by default...
1 ...on the server in a Session variable that is unique for each page.
2 ...in a hidden form element as plain text.
3 ...in a hidden form element as a Base64 encoded string.
4 ...in a hidden form element that is encrypted so it cannot be tampered with.

Oh sorry I should posted that here... thanks for beating me to it... According to the site the answer could be 3 or 4 but if you really wanted to test 3 out you can to decode it at http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
Since 3 doesnt work the the answer is number 4...
Thanks again BungHoc

Ideally the view state should not need to be encrypted, as it should never contain sensitive information. If needed, however, the LosFormatter does provide limited encryption support.

Thank you for correcting me I found http://www.pluralsight.com/blogs/fritz/archive/2004/06/03/408.aspx that goes more into the 64bit encoding
