Session object

[Ivan A. Gavrilyuk]

Hi

I'm trying to implement my own security framework in asp.net, so I need to
identify user in Application_AuthenticateRequest in Global.aspx. But Session
object always null, why?

Thanx.

Application events run on a different level than session events, as they are
fired from a different point in the process. I know this is true for the
Application_Start event. I would assume it happens in other app events, as
well. Session vars come into play after the session cookie is returned, so
the event may be firing before the request is completely parsed. Not 100%
sure, of course, on Application_AuthenticateRequest.

If you need a container that will be around for the duration of the
request, look at the Items collection of the HttpContext class.
