Yes, you should be able to use the Session object from within your Controller’s action methods to store and retrieve session data.

Session["MyData"] = myData;
MyDataType myData = (MyDataType)Session["MyData"];

Obviously be careful with the size of objects you are storing and how Session data is handled i.e. in process, SQL Server or application server. If you are not storing your session data in memory then you will need to ensure that it is serializable.
