Life Time Of : ViewBag, TempData, ViewData and Session

Question

These Are Useful to store Data. Session are destroyed by time that is set by webserver. Viewbag and ViewData work as view as work and destroyed while redirects. How about TempData? Or more useful information.

hold your session in a database. tempdata only lasts for one page - ie, transfer data from one page to another. viewbag/viewdata are reset on page refresh — mnsr, Jul 10 '15 at 05:18

Note to modern readers: TempData's lifetime is different as of .NET Core. See my answer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/63818038/5405967) for details. – MarredCheese Sep 09 '20 at 19:13
