VJs Tip Of The Day - August 12th 2004

ViewState Encryption- Considerations

Well to add to yesterday's tip, there are few more tips, rather considerations to come on the way related to viewstate encryption...

If you are using SSL for your webpages then you would want to reconsider whether you need this encryption of ViewState seperately or not as your whole data will be encrypted anyways...

The other point is webfarm scenario... When deploying your webapp to Webfarm without sticky sessions if AutoGenerate option is on (which is by default) then there are chances that your each request will go to different machine and ViewState decryption will fail there... You will have to do synchronization activities in this scenario...

Note: Sticky session is a scenario in which, once the first request in a session is served by a particular server all the consecutive requests for that session will be directed to the same server...


PS: I was wondering that if someone reads one useful article from MSDN daily, (note: JUST ONE useful article) how many days would it take for him/her to become "Most Knowledgeable Person" around there... Think about this, I smile when I come up with a number out of my hat... :-)
