HI, I have a page that contains a series of Ajax driven user controls
that include grids. A hyperlink on each grid enables users to jump to
different pages. Question: How can I keep track of the user controls'
states (page index, sorting order, etc. ) when the user returns back
to the page? I was thinking of using page specific cookies. Are there
more efficient alternatives? TIA for any hints.

Well, it seems that cookies are not the way to go. In Extension 3.5,
MS provides new methods to retain state (EnableHistory attribute).
This would be the ideal solution to my problem. MS however warns that
those functionalities have not yet been officially endorsed. How risky
would it be to nevertheless use these controls? TIA for any hints.
