Is there a way to get the Session object from a static context?

Question

I'm in a C# / ASP.NET project. I'd like to be able to get a handle on the Session object (HttpSessionState) from a static context. Is there there any way to do so?

Answer 1

It sounds like you are looking for:-

var sess = HttpContext.Current.Session;

Answer 2

Yes, the Current property on HttpContext is static, therefore:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session

will return the current session from a static context (but you must be inside an HTTP context, or Current will be null).

Answer 3

Try this:

    private static new HttpSessionState Session
    {
        get { return HttpContext.Current.Session; }
    }

then from another static function you can just refer to it as

var myObj = Session[myKey];

just like you would from your regular non-static code.

Answer 4

HttpContext.Current.Session
