My question is, is there a way to pass data from one controller to another, more specifically cache-data, and if yes how ?

I have built a system that can create bookings and save them in a cache so i can display them in my view. Now I have a second Controller for a ViewModel, where i need the cache data transferred to.

What I have tried:

This is my Controller which works fine. I have that memoryCache there but its for that Controller only. I need to get that cache data to another Controller.

namespace sopro.Controllers
{
    public class BookingController : Controller
    {
        private static IMemoryCache _cache;
        private List<Booking> bookingsList;
        private List<Guid> cacheKeys;

        public BookingController(IMemoryCache memoryCache)
        {
            _cache = memoryCache;
            bookingsList = new List<Booking>();
            cacheKeys = Booking.guids;
        }

        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            if (_cache != null)
            {
                foreach (Guid guid in cacheKeys)
                {
                    var cacheKey = guid.ToString();
                    bookingsList.Add(_cache.Get<Booking>(cacheKey));
                }

            }

            ViewData["bookings"] = bookingsList;
            return View();
        }

        [HttpGet]
        public IActionResult Create()
        {
            return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public IActionResult Create(Booking newBooking)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var cacheEntryOptions = new MemoryCacheEntryOptions().SetSlidingExpiration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100));

                _cache.Set(newBooking.InstanceID.ToString(), newBooking, cacheEntryOptions);

                ViewBag.Success = "Booking was successfully created!"; 
                return View();
            }
            else
            {
                cacheKeys.Remove(newBooking.InstanceID);
                ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Booking was not created! Please enter correct booking details.");

                return View(newBooking);
                //return Content("Failed to create the product. Please try again");
            }
        }

    }
}
