Question 87050 in ASP.NET Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

I'm trying to use sessions to store variables in .net6, but the values are not getting stored – Asp.net

I’m trying to use sessions to store variables in .net6, I already configured program.cs but the session still not storing the values, using .net6 core with c#.

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using nsaprojeto.Data;


var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();

builder.Services.AddSession(options =>
{
    options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
    options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
    options.Cookie.IsEssential = true;
});



// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>options.UseSqlServer(
    builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")
    ));

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
    // The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();

app.UseRouting();

app.UseAuthorization();

app.UseSession();
app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "default",
    pattern: "{controller=L_AccessPoint}/{action=Filtros1}");

app.Run();

That’s the code that I’m using to set the session variable, but that isn’t storing the variable, I’m doing something wrong, or forgetting something.

HttpContext.Session.SetString("adad", "dwdwwww");

EDIT:
I have the following object and I need to store that in the session variables, is that possible to do?

    public class L_AccessPoint
    {

        public string ap_name { get; set; }
        public short? zone_id { get; set; }
        public decimal? latitude { get; set; }
        public decimal? longitude { get; set; }
        public string ap_eth_mac { get; set; }
        public DateTime ts { get; set; }
        public short ap_id { get; set; }
        public Byte? type { get; set; }
        public bool Active { get; set; }

    }

    In controller, you can do like below:

    public class HomeController : Controller
{

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        ISession session = HttpContext.Session;
        session.SetString("Username", "ffff");           
        return View();
    }
   
    public IActionResult Privacy()
    {     
        ISession session = HttpContext.Session;
       string username = session.GetString("Username");
        return View();
    }

    
}

    result:

    Update

    Create two methods to save and retrieve a class in a session:

    public static class SessionExtensions
    {
        public static void Set<T>(this ISession session, string key, T value)
        {
            session.SetString(key, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value));
        }

        public static T Get<T>(this ISession session, string key)
        {
            var value = session.GetString(key);
            return value == null ? default(T) : JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(value);
        }
    }

    To save and retrieve in a session an object of type List, use methods like below:

     public class HomeController : Controller
    {       
        public IActionResult Index()
        {   //  your list object  
            List<L_AccessPoint> myList = new List<L_AccessPoint>
            {
        new L_AccessPoint(){ ap_name = "Sylvester", zone_id=8,latitude=1, longitude=1},
        new L_AccessPoint(){ ap_name = "Whiskers", zone_id=2,latitude=1, longitude=1 },
        new L_AccessPoint(){ ap_name = "Sasha", zone_id=14 ,latitude=1, longitude=1}
            };
           // To set value in session
            HttpContext.Session.Set<List<L_AccessPoint>>("obj", myList);     
            return View();
        }
       
        public IActionResult Privacy()
        {
           // To Get Value from Session
            List<L_AccessPoint> classCollection = HttpContext.Session.Get<List<L_AccessPoint>>("obj");
            return View();
        }   
    }

    Result:

    You can use objects within your session, but you need to make sure you do a null-check on them (since when not set are defaulting to null)

    var accessPoint = _contextAccessor.HttpContext.Session.Get<I_AccessPoint>("mykey");
// accessPoint = null when not set

    or set like this:

     _contextAccessor.HttpContext.Session.Set<I_AccessPoint>("mykey", objectOfAccessPoint);
