Answer 1

Did you configure Session? TempData is using session behind the scenes.

Project.json

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session": "1.1.0"

Here is the Startup.cs file. - ConfigureServices method

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
     services.AddMemoryCache();
     services.AddSession();
     services.AddMvc();
}

And Configure method.

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    app.UseSession();
    app.UseMvc(routes => {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
    });
}

Now try with TempData, it will work.

And you can set the environment with set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development environment variable.
