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.

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.

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.
