Hello Kevin,

> System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session

Actually, this is the property that he should use. For what he's doing, he has no need to inherit from a class.

I've posted some code to this group before detailing a singleton implementation of a Session wrapper. Using this code would allow you to use Session state in whatever class you want.

Take a look at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...phx.gbl&rnum=1

Hope this answers your question...

Hi:

The code to add items to shopping cart is a seperate class file so I don't
have to keep repeating it. If I want to be able to access session data in
this class, which class should I base it on?

Thanks,
Charlie

Inherit from a class?! What I posted was nothing but a static property of
the System.Web.HttpContext class. No inheritance involved. Simply a complete
namespace. No wrapper necessary. A wrapper just adds useless overhead.

I understand. You have the right answer. However, he was asking about inheriting from a class.

I would disagree with your comment about the wrapper. The code that I posted gives me strongly typed access to my session variables, which is much better for catching errors at compile time.

It would not work using base class- got errors trying to access session
vars. I then derived it from Page class and it works fine. Just wondering
if there is a more lightweight class?
