Problems with Session State

[Jeff Shantz]

Hello,

I've got two classes: EventLog and ErrorLog. I need to access Session
state from these classes, but they are not associated with ASPX pages.
So I've been accessing the Session object through
HttpContext.Current.Session["someVar"].

This was working fine for several months. Suddenly, ErrorLog stopped
being able to "see" the Session object. I made no changes, so I'm
frankly quite stumped. They both import the same namespaces, yet when
ErrorLog is executing and I set a watch on
"HttpContext.Current.Session", it shows as "<undefined value>".

Any ideas? Thanks.

Regards,
Jeff Shantz

Is your Eventlog and Errorlog objects are running in the process of ASP.NET.
If it is running in different process then you cant access the context
across processes.

Are the classes somehow accessed out from web context?
