What's the best way to keep a hidden value? It doesn't need encryption or any protection.

I realize that I could use a Label control's viewstate, and just make it not visible, but
that doesn't seem efficient. Or I could use a session variable, or a cookie...

To simply hide a simple value in a page, what's the best way to do this?

Thanks for your help.
 
Hidden ASP.NET or HTML server side objects are fine for
keeping hidden values in a page.

HTH,
Suresh.

If you are not going to set or alter this using client script then the best
way is to store it into the page ViewState
eg Viewstate["somename"] = "Joe";
 
Just add your name/value pair into the State Bag (ViewState). No control
necessary, no server memory used up (Session).

ViewState.Add("Key", "Value")
