Get user's session ID in asp.net mvc

Question

In an asp.net mvc application, i would like to use a rest webservice to return the username associated with the session id passed as a parameter.

How do I get the sessionID of the logged in User ?

Do I need to set the session ID Manually in my login method ?

Also how can I get the user information using the session ID ?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you !

Answer 1

What version of .NET are you using? Using .NET Framework 4.5.2 I was able to obtain the SessionID value using: string sessionID = HttpContext.Session.SessionID;
