ASP.NET Get all user sessions for web application

Question

I need to find a way to retrieve all of the user sessions from within a web application. I have tried this solution: Get a list of all active sessions in ASP.NET

And it worked fine for .net 4.5 and above but not for 4.0 and below.

I don't want to manage my sessions by creating a static list of sessions that will be populated from Global.asax (session_start and session_end). I just need to find a way to investigate the current web application and retrieve all of the users active sessions (for .net versions 2.0 and above)

Is it possible?

What other option do you have ? static list or Application object. choose one. ( or cache , but don't do it) . regarding the 4.5 version , I don't see any 4.5 code there. — Royi Namir, Jun 01 '14 at 07:48

You could use a SQLServer SessionState Store Provider and then get the stored sessions from the database. Or implement your own custom Provider. Both options seem like a little overkill comparing to a simple session_start/session_end you mentioned.

then you may need to use save the session in state server. rather then apllication sate. then you may try follwoing code. it may be work

for (int i = 0; i < Session.Count; i++)
        {
             Session[i].ToString();
        }
