Hi Margam,

Tempdata: It’s life is very short and lies only till the target view is fully loaded. so you cannot use tempdata like session.

please check below comparison between TempData and Session :
TempData:
is the property of the ControllerBase class
is used to pass data from one controller to other
its life is ended when the target view is loaded completely
it is recommended to type-cast the value when TempData value is used for processing
Mostly used to store Validation Error Messages, etc.
The Life time of the TempData can be managed using the Keep() method.
Session:
is used to pass data across controllers in MVC Application.
Session data never expires.
Like TempData the value must be type-casted when it is used for processing.

No. TempData gets destroyed immediately after it’s used in subsequent HTTP request, where session will never lost. I suggest the below urls, to get more knowledge on the "Tempdata":
