Every now and then (once every day or so) we're seeing the following types of errors in our logs for an ASP.NET 3.5 application

Invalid viewstate
Invalid postback or callback argument

Are these something that "just happens" from time-to-time with an ASP.NET application? Would anyone recommend we spend a lot of time trying to diagnose what's causing the issues?

What are the latest and greatest ways to compress the ASP.NET ViewState content? What about the performance of this? Is it worth it to keep the pages quick and minimize data-traffic?

ViewState content when there are no controls on the page

When you create an ASP.NET page with no controls and runs it, a view state hidden field is added.

I guess this value appears on every page… >>> More
