c# - How to access Session in .ashx file?

Question

I want to access some value(which is already set in.aspx file) in .ashx file. I tried to get that value using querystring, session etc but each time it failed. Can anyone suggest me how can we access session value in .ashx file?

In the ashx.cs file, also "implement" the interface System.Web.SessionState.IReadOnlySessionState or System.Web.SessionState.IRequiresSessionState.

You don't have to implement any method, just the presence of this makes the Session available (in readonly or read/write mode), through context.Session.

The header would look like:

public class MyHandler: IHttpHandler, System.Web.SessionState.IReadOnlySessionState
