No, why would there be? Pages are destroyed in ASP.NET applications after the server renders the page. Object states are stored in the viewstate so on a postback the page can be recreated. Now with windows forms the objects are never destroyed until you destroy them. What do you need a viewstate for? Save the form's state or don't destroy it.

Thanks Scott, I was trying to save the form's state and call the value from another class.
As a work around, I just place all the methods in the form class
