Unable to access Session State from class?

Question

I have a Dynamic Data application to which I have added a class for extending EDM. Everything works great, but now I am trying to set an entity property value equal to a value in session state - and its not recognizing the Session command. I'm trying to do something like this:

audit.action_by = CStr(Session("person_name"))

I think this is because I do not have the class Inheriting Page, but if I do add Inherits Page it breaks other stuff. How can I have the class include the ability to utilize sessions directly without inheriting Page?

Answer 1

Try it like this:

HttpContext.Current.Session("person_name")

Answer 2

The Session property of the Page and UserControl classes is just a shortcut for HttpContext.Current.Session.
