In ASP.NET, the ViewState is typically protected from tampering on the client with a signature generated by the machine secret on the server. But this protection can be easily turned off with:

<%@ Page ... EnableViewStateMac="false" %>

How can I test to see whether it’s on or off at runtime?

    You should just be able to reference

    Page.EnableViewStateMac
    

    From within your code.
