Session not working in asp.net core 6.0 when tring to access it on the view-CodePudding

I tried working with session on ASP.NET Core 6.0 MVC but could not make it work as shown in the docs - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/app-state?view=aspnetcore-6.0

I added the session middleware on program.cs.

builder.Services.AddSession();
app.UseSession();

On the controller I am storing current datetime on session:

HttpContext.Session.SetString("CurrentDateTime", DateTime.Now.ToString());

Till now everything is fine.

But problem is I am getting error when on the view I am trying to access it like this:

@HttpContext.Session.GetString("CurrentDateTime")

The error is:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error (active) CS0120 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'HttpContext.Session' UnderstandingControllersViews E:\Yogesh\SEO\Yogihosting\3\UnderstandingControllersViews\UnderstandingControllersViews\Views\Example\SessionExample.cshtml 2

How to make it work can anybody help?

CodePudding user response：

You need to inject IHttpContextAccessor implementation to your View and use it to get the Session object as required:

@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http
@inject IHttpContextAccessor HttpContextAccessor
@{
    //Get object from session
    var mySessionObject= HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Session.GetString("CurrentDateTime");
 }

<h1>@mySessionObject</h1>
