Can I use <asp: SessionParameter Direction = "Output" / "> to * set * a variable?

If I have a SqlDataSource with

InsertCommand="INSERT [Applications] ([UserID]) VALUES (@UserID);SELECT @ApplicationID=SCOPE_IDENTITY()"

      

        
        
        
      

    

Can I use SessionParameter to store the return value?

<asp:SessionParameter SessionField="__ApplicationID" Name="ApplicationID" Type="int32" Direction="Output" DefaultValue="-1" />
