Basic ASP.Net: Viewstate Variable Pattern

Here is a simple example of how to store a variable in view state for easy access. The example is using a string but any object/type can be used.

private string GTR
    {
      get
      {
        object o = ViewState[ "GTR" ];
        return ( o != null ? o.ToString() : "" );
      }
      set
      {
        ViewState[ "GTR" ] = value;
      }
    }
