Viewstate variable - one page to the next

Pardon my silly question, but can you store a value in a view state variable, and have it still available when navigating from one page to the next? I"m trying to replace session variables with view state variables

According to ASP.Net, The code -> ViewState["VariableName"] = theData; can be used only within a Page. It wouldn't work in the next Page; as like Session Variables. One can use ViewState to keep a Value that can be used within a Page irrespective of the Multiple Events based on the Page.

If the requirement is to keep a Variable in one and that might be required in other Pages, than using Session Variables are Recommended.
