Namespace:  System.Web.UI
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Enumeration ViewStateEncryptionMode
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As ViewStateEncryptionMode
C#
public enum ViewStateEncryptionMode
Visual C++
public enum class ViewStateEncryptionMode
JScript
public enum ViewStateEncryptionMode
Members

Member nameDescription
AutoThe view-state information is encrypted if a control requests encryption by calling the RegisterRequiresViewStateEncryption method. This is the default.
AlwaysThe view-state information is always encrypted.
NeverThe view-state information is never encrypted, even if a control requests it.
Remarks

The ViewStateEncryptionMode enumeration provides values for specifying whether the view-state information in a Page object is encrypted. The ViewStateEncryptionMode value can be set only in the @ Page directive or in the pages section of the configuration file.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates setting the view-state encryption mode for a Page object and requesting encryption of the view-state information through the RegisterRequiresViewStateEncryption method. In this example, the view-state information will be encrypted when customer information is retrieved from a database.
