session

I have seen lots of posts here and elsewhere stating that one can access session variables from app_code. I want to access an already created session.

this code errors out because of a null exception. string myFile = HttpContext.Current.Session["UploadedFile"];

this creates a null session variable. System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState Session = HttpContext.Current.Session;

It looks like I can create a new session variable but not access an already created one. Anyone have any idea what might be giving me problems?
