Application, Session, Viewstate and Cache

[alon]

Can anyone please explain me shortly, or give me a good link regarding the differences between Application, Session, Viewstate and Cache ?
How do I decide when to use each of them ?

Thanks,
Alon

i guess MS's MSDN & KB should be the best place to learn about MS products and obtain some sample codes. :)

MSDN is not a bad place, it is simply of matter of finding what you need.
