how to get the session variable in many pages in C#?

Question

I have a field named username as the session variable. I have added a class which inherits the base page. Now I want the code to get the session variable in all the pages that the user moves through.

Please help me with the code.

You should be able to access the Session variable form all pages in the following way:

 var username = Session["Username"].ToString();

Hope this helps

You can access your current session variables using the Session object with an index, like

var myvalue = Session["mysessionvariable"];

Use session["username"] to get the value. Then use this value as per your need

You can add a property in a base class (which is inherited from Page class) which will encapsulate the Session variable and inherit that base class in every page you create

public string UserNameInSession 
{
    get 
           { 
              return HttpContextCurrent["UserNameSessionKey"].ToString();
           }
    set 
           { 
              HttpContextCurrent["UserNameSessionKey"] = value; 
           }
}

And then you can use this property either to set or get the Username from/to session like

string UserName = UserNameInSession; //Get it
UserNameInSession = string.Empty();//set it
