You should not store the file in ViewState. It will have very bad impact on performance (since it will transmitted twice for each subsequent request.

You need to store the file in a temporary folder and then store the file path in ViewState instead. Just remember that you need some sort of cleanup routine that deletes files that are (for example) a day old.
