Session is null in ashx and in web api

Session is null in ashx

 

If the HttpContext.Current.Session is null in your .ashx handler, add System.Web.SessionState.IReadOnlySessionState to your class declaration, like this:

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

Also, if you need to write to Session[], you can use IRequresSessionState instead of IReadOnlySessionState.
