Maintaining state in Asp.Net MVC website

Question

I\'m currently designing a new website built on MVC and I wonder what is the right way to manage state.
The state should contain the userId and some structs of the user info

If you are using .NET 4.5 and dependent on the type and amount of information you are keeping on users you may want to look at using claims to store information about the user. In .NET 4.5 all Principals inherit from ClaimsPrincipal. ClaimsPrincipal already uses claims to store the user name, roles and other information. You can create your own service to transform claims, which will allow you to add additional information to the Principal user.
