Better you create multiple session id like Session["ID1"] = "value test" and another session Session["ID2"] = "value test2". Once the session value is updated then you cannot recover.

I was able to get Values from the earlier Session as I stored the required values as a pair in the Cache as shown below. System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("UserName", Session["UserName"].ToString()); and used the following to get the stored values. System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get("UserName").ToString();

Thank you Sachin, for a quick response. How can I create multiple Sessions ?

Sachin Singh · Answer

Session stores the value in a key value pair like Session["userName"]="sachin"; if at any point of time you change the value then the old value will be replaced by the new one , and will be no way to get the old value. if you want to retain something then create multiple sessions accordingly.
