Get Session Value in a Static Method

In this blog we will see how to get session value in a static method.

We cannot use session in a static method. So I will show one way in which this can be done without much hassle.
Just use the below syntax:

HttpContext.Current.Session["SessionName"].ToString();

Using this code we can access the session value in static methods too.

Create a website. Add a webform to it. Write the below code in the aspx page.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Label ID="LblName" runat="server"></asp:Label>
    </div>
</form>

We have a label on the page. We will assign a name to it using session in a static method. In the code behind file write the following syntax.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Session["UserName"] = "DotNet Snippets!!";

    LblName.Text = AssignSession();
}

protected static string AssignSession()
{
    string _users = string.Empty;

    _users = HttpContext.Current.Session["UserName"].ToString();

    return _users;
}

We will now run the code and see what output we get.


We get the value from the session in the label that is displayed on the webpage. I hope this is useful to the beginners.
