Session state outside of page

[bryan]

Hello,

I have a an asp.net application in c#. The code behind files call
helper methods in regular c# classes.

For example, on some pages I check if the current user has permission
to use certain buttons. To do this I call the
SecurityHelper.GetAllowedRoles(string username....)

If the user is allowed, I enable the buttons.

But each call to GetAllowedRoles(...) accesses the database. Instead, I
want to add the retrieved info to the session state. However, the
Session object does not seem to be available from the SecurityHelper
class.

What is a good solution to this?

If you are looking to access session object from a non code behind cs file ,
use HttpContext

HttpContext _context = HttpContext.Current;
string _something = _context.Session["yourvariablename"].ToString();

That solved it...
