Answer 1

Hi there.

You need to pass the current HTTPContext to the DAL.

Answer 2

I recommend passing the value through your different layers.

You could probably use HttpContext.Current... to access it directly, but doing it that way would mean you now have a dependancy on Session state in your DAL, which will make testing and maintainance more awkward.
