strange code

[Developwebsites]

What is this garbled mess? I've never seen anything like
it before in a web site's source code.

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="DesktopDefault.aspx" id="Form1"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"
value="dDw3ODczMjU5O3Q8O2w8aTwwPjtpPDE+O2k8Mj47aTwzPjs+O2w8dDxwPGw8aW5uZXJ
odG1sOz47bDxEb3ROZXROdWtlICZndFw7IEhvbWUgKCBETk4gMS4wLjEwICk7Pj47Oz47dDxwP

gIzQwNDA0MCAwcHggc29saWRcOyBib3JkZXItbGVmdDogI0ZGODA4MCAwcHggc

it goes on for over 100 lines.

Hmmm well at a guess it looks like encoded ASP.Net code, I know you
could encode the VBScript in standard VB, other than that *Shrug*
