Session is null when inherit from System.Web.UI.Page

Question

I want to extend the System.Web.UI.Page-class with some extra stuff. In the ctor I need the value of a session-variable.

The problem is that the Session-object is null...

public class ExtendedPage : System.Web.UI.Page {
   protected foo;   

   public ExtendedPage() {
      this.foo = (int)HttpContext.Current.Session["foo"];   // NullReferenceException
   }
}

If I move the part with the session-object into the Load-Event everything works fine...

public class ExtendedPage : System.Web.UI.Page {
   protected foo;

   public ExtendedPage() {
      this.Load += new EventHandler(ExtendedPage_Load);
   }

   void ExtendedPage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
      this.foo = (int)HttpContext.Current.Session["foo"];
   }
}

Why is the Session-object null in the first case??

Answer 1

在构建Page对象之后，会在Page生命周期中稍后设置Session属性。

Answer 2

You have to inherit the ExtendedPage class in an .aspx Page.

It will have Session when run in the HttpContext
