@Sum: Session["X"] = your_KeyValuePair_variable or Session["Your_Helper"] = new your_helper_class() will also work - at least for In-Proc session mode. Are you using some other session mode? — Sergii Kudriavtsev

You have onlyy a few choices, really. URL parameters, hidden form inputs, cookies, session (be careful in a load-balanced scenario) or just store/retrieve stuff from a database. RaveDB is bloomin' brilliant for this because it's so fast and document-based.

You can store data in a cookie and then in your codebehind parse the specific cookie into something like a System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary

But you should use sessions.

Edit

IF if's a KeyValuePair<String,TValue> you can set Session[kvp.Key] = kvp.Value;, if not Session["KVP"] = kvp;

None that I know of, simply because you usually don't need this. There is a finished solution, why build another one.

I think session is probably what you need. Just be aware that there can be issues if you start persisting session state (for example in a load-balanced scenario).

If u really don't want to use session use Database mind that this is a slow method...

i've had a few situations where I wanted to minimize/eliminate session storage (due to users being on a horrible wifi connection). to handle this situation I used an encrypted query string with only their ID in the string. in the base page I would decrypt the string and pull information I needed from the database. This information would be populated into objects that I defined and since the objects were in the base page I could access the information from any pages that inherited it.
