from VS2005 help:

C#  Copy Code
private const int defaultFontSize = 3;

// Add property values to view state with set;
// retrieve them from view state with get.
public String Text
{
    get
    {
        object o = ViewState["text"];
        return (o == null)? String.Empty : (string)o;
    }

    set
    {
        ViewState["Text"] = value;
    }
}
