Can we use session variable in App_code Class page?
No, you cannot directly use session variables in the 'App_Code' folder or classes within it in ASP.NET.
The 'App_Code' folder is typically used to store code files that define classes, business logic, data access, and other utility functions that are commonly shared across the application. The classes within the 'App_Code' folder are compiled dynamically by ASP.NET at runtime.
However, session state is specific to an individual user's session and is accessed through the Session object, which is available within the context of an HTTP request or a web page. The 'Session' object is not directly accessible in the 'App_Code' folder or its classes because it requires the context of an active HTTP request.
If you need to access session state within the 'App_Code' folder or its classes, you have a few options:
-
Pass the session variables as parameters:
If the 'App_Code' class needs to use session data, you can pass the required session variables as parameters to the methods or functions defined in the 'App_Code' class. The calling code (such as a web page or a code-behind file) can retrieve the session values and pass them as arguments when invoking the methods in the 'App_Code' class.
-
Access session state through 'HttpContext.Current':
The 'HttpContext.Current' property allows you to access the current HTTP context, including the session state, from anywhere within your application. In the 'App_Code' class, you can use 'HttpContext.Current.Session["key"]' to access session variables. However, it's important to ensure that the current HTTP context and session are available and not null when accessing session data.
It's worth noting that accessing session state in the 'App_Code' folder might introduce coupling between the 'App_Code' logic and the web-specific context, which may not be desirable in some cases. It's generally recommended to keep the 'App_Code' folder focused on reusable business logic and avoid tightly coupling it to web-specific concerns like session state.
