asp.net mvc what is the life of a controller?

what is the life of a controller? if i create a controller, store some data in private fields, then the user goes to other pages using different controllers, then clicks a link to come back to the original controller, under which circumstances will that data still be there?

thanks!

The controller is instantiated and destroyed by the MVC framework for each HTTP request.

If you need to persist data between page requests, use Session, or store it in a database.
