Session variable accessibility - asp.net

Question

I have a class which creates a session the following way:
Session["UserId"] = UserId; // UserId = 1
In one of the pages on Page_Load, I retrieve the session variable value this way which works fine:
if (Session["UserId"] != null){
var userid = Session["UserId"];
Welcome.Text = "Hello, " + userid;
}
Now I need to use the value of the session variable in my classes as well. I used the following method to get the session value int useridsession = Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Session["UserId"]); but it always returns null whereas the session is correctly read using Session["UserId"]; in my code behind file.
The mentioned class:
public static DataTable ManageBookingsDataTable()
{
int useridsession = Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Session["UserId"]);
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Database.ConnectionString);
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select bookings.id,user_id, start_date, end_date, pets.name AS 'Pet name' from bookings AS bookings left join users AS usr ON bookings.user_id=usr.id AND bookings.user_id=1 left join pets AS pets ON pets.id=bookings.pet_id WHERE bookings.user_id=#userid_session", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#userid_session", useridsession);
SqlDataAdapter sqlDa = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
string id = string.Empty;
string name = string.Empty;
string startdate = string.Empty;
string enddate = string.Empty;
string full_string = string.Empty;
sqlDa.Fill(dt);
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
id = dt.Rows[i]["id"].ToString();
var sdate = dt.Rows[i]["start_date"];
name = dt.Rows[i]["Pet name"].ToString();
startdate = dt.Rows[i]["start_date"].ToString();
enddate = dt.Rows[i]["end_date"].ToString();
full_string = startdate + " to " + enddate + " (" + name + ")";
//CurrentBookings.Items.Add(new ListItem(full_string, id));
}
}
return dt;
}
I diagnosed the problem by adding HttpContext.Current.Session["UserId"] = 1; which proves that when I set the session in the same class, the method works.
My question is how do I access the previously created session from any class?

Answer 1

Session should be available for the session regardless of the class. Why don't you set and get
your session values using the same class? All your session stuff in a one place so it is more neat and tidy as well.
Local.MySession.UserId = UserId; //Set here
int myUserId = Local.MySession.UserId; //Get here
//Something like this??
namespace Local
{
//You can add all session variables to this class
public class MySession
{
public static int UserId
{
get
{
return Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Session["userId"] ?? "0");
}
set { HttpContext.Current.Session["userId"] = value.ToString(); }
}
public static string UserEmail //For Example another session variable
{
get { return HttpContext.Current.Session["email"] ?? ""; }
set { HttpContext.Current.Session["email"] = value; }
}
}
}
