TempData migration moves TempData from a session-based provider to a cookie-based provider in ASP.NET Core. This allows you to retain temporary state data patterns when upgrading from the older framework.

The best way to replace HttpRuntime.Cache and HttpContext.Application is by using DI-based IMemoryCache or IDistributedCache solutions. This adapts your application state management to the dependency injection architecture of ASP.NET Core.

Yes, you need knowledge of ASP.NET Core session management and distributed caching to migrate MVC session state. This prerequisite knowledge is required to properly configure the ISession backend and ensure state persistence.

Yes, you can migrate WebAPI application state to ASP.NET Core by replacing legacy state patterns with dependency injection. The migration replaces HttpContext.Application with DI-based IMemoryCache or IDistributedCache solutions.

TempData migration switches from session-based to cookie-based providers because ASP.NET Core uses a different TempData architecture. This shift allows temporary data to persist across redirects without relying on server-side session storage.
