You can store it in the viewstate assuming you can serialize the data properly. It's not necessarily a good idea as it will increase the size of the page sent to the client (and read on each return) not to mention make it possible for the client to have a disconnected view of the database.

It's usually better to do paging on the datagrid / etc or find a way to minimize round trips, etc.

That said, look around for articles on storing information in viewstate. It should give you what you need to know. Also, if you decide to do this, make sure you're using compression on page transfer. It will cut down the amount of data required for transfer.
