c# how to set up and use session state from preinit
- by Praesagus
OK so to set and read variables from the current session
String Myvar =(string) System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session[“MyVariable”]
To set
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session[“MyVariable”] = “NewValue”
I can do neither, I get a System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. from System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session.
In my web.config I have
<sessionState mode="StateServer" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" cookieless="false" timeout="20">
</sessionState>
I have read a dozen articles on the the necessity of IHttpHandler and an IRequiresSessionState interface. I think the issue may be caused because I am requesting this information in Page_PreInit. I found a solution in a stack overflow article but I don't seem be using it properly to actually make this go.
I am not sure what I am missing. Thanks in advance.
