How do I use this extension?
Once you have downloaded the ZIP archive, uncompress it into the folder “C:\Program Files\Fiddler2\Inspectors\”, or wherever you have Fiddler installed. Next, start Internet Explorer, then start Fiddler by clicking it’s icon on the toolbar. Once Fiddler is open, click the “Session Inspector” tab, then click the “ViewState” sub-tab. When pages are done loading in Internet Explorer just click their URL in the list on the left-hand side in Fiddler and the page’s ViewState will be decoded in the 2 boxes on the right-hand side. (See the screenshot above for an idea of what it should look like)
