Hi,

Hidden fields can be used to hold "state"-information for a specific
form or for other controls. For example, it is possible to use a hidden
field to specify if a Windows Form is in an "edit-state" or a
"view-state". However, there are way better ways to accomplish this
than to use "hidden fields" for this kind of functionality.

Usage of a hidden field can be useful for performance reasons. I know
of an example application which uses a hidden listbox which is filled
during startup of the application. To not totally overwhelme the user
with information, the listbox is kept invisible until the user
specifically asks (by clicking a button) to see the information
contained in this hidden field. This kind of behavior too can be
accomplished without using hidden fields.

Hope this helps,
