HttpContext.Current.Session is null in Ashx file
I saw some questions (Here and Here) but they do not answer my question. I am trying to call Ajax using "ajax.ashx" file, and in function to access Session. For some reason, the value of the Session object itself is null.
Use example:
Session = HttpContext.Current.Session // This is null
Or:
public virtual void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState Session = context.Session;
// This is null
}
In the Web.config:
<sessionState timeout="1800"></sessionState>
You must add on your handler the IRequiresSessionState
on the declaration of it as:
public class YourHandleName : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
...
by default the handlers are not connected with the session to keep them minimum, by adding the IRequiresSessionState
you attach them with the session.
