Maximum Textbox Size

I need to pass a large amount of data to a ASP.Net 2.0 web app. What
is the maximum amount of data I can place in a hidden text box?Its 10:43 AM, Have you seen your ViewState lately?
I know, I know, not funny.
Im not sure what the Max size of a hidden field is. I doubt there is a MAX.
Im sure it really depends on the Client's browser/Machine that has to render
the page.

Basically it probably depends how much the server allows to be posted.
Default is 4 MBs in ASP.NET, configured by <httpRuntime> maxRequestLength in
web.config

But of course, it's not probably as simple thing as it sounds. Having Page
that large is quite...umm...unbearable. :-)
