Access Session State with Razor?

Hello DW Guys,

Wanted to ask you if it is possible to access Session state in DynamicWeb templates with Razor?

I wanted to store a single string value as string. And use it from time to time if I need it.

Problem is that I need to keep it as long as whole session is active.

Or maybe there are some alternatives I can use?

Currently I am trying to use something like this:

HttpContext.Current.Session["whatever"] = "mystring";

But Razor compains :-(

RazorEngine.Templating.TemplateCompilationException: Unable to compile template. The name Http Context does not exist in the current context

Adding @using namespace statement does not help neither :-(

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Dmitrij

Did you prefix HttpContext with System.Web? The following works for me:

@{
  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["whatever"] = "mystring";
}

@System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["whatever"]

Cheers,

Just to follow up on a @using namespace statement, this should also work:

@using System.Web;

@{
	HttpContext.Current.Session["whatever"] = "mystring";
}

@HttpContext.Current.Session["whatever"]

I've tested successfully on Dynamicweb 8.2.3.2.

Best regards,
