Where does the Encryption of ViewState (ViewStateEncryptionMode) happen?
<p>It could be a basic question on this topic. I am reading that the View State can be encrypted, by setting the ViewStateEncryptionMode.</p>

<p>Even when the ViewStateEncryptionMode is not specified, the __VIEWSTATE hidden filed seem to be having encrypted values.</p>

<p>Assuming this is based on the default value ViewStateEncryptionMode.Auto, I set the page's ViewStateEncryptionMode to Never. Still I see the same value (in encrypted form) in the hidden field.</p>

<p>Is ViewStateEncryptionMode is dealing with something else than, the __viewstate hidden field? Please explain.</p>
