Farewell, EnableViewStateMac!
The ASP.NET team is making an important announcement regarding the September 2014 security updates.

If you have set EnableViewStateMac="false" anywhere in your application, your application will be affected by this change and you should read on. Otherwise there is no action you must take, and the behavior of your application will not be affected. In December 2013, we released a security advisory warning that the configuration setting EnableViewStateMa...

Note that most of this walk-through is not unique to .NET Native and applies equally well to a conventional Windows Store App. The final section of the walk- through describes the extra couple steps to...
