ASP MVC check session in custom filter

Question

I have an attribute that fired when any request recieve to my asp mvc application.

public class AllActionsAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var session = Session["mySession"]; //it' doesn't work
    }
}

Is there any way to check Session in OnActionExecuting() function?

What does "it doesn't work" mean? is the Session null? is the value for your key empty? does this occur only the first time you statrt up your app? — Fran

The name Session does not exist in the current context. No it occur in any request. — user3748973

Session can be accessed through the filterContext

Session is a controller property that wraps access to the HttpContext.Session.

There is no Session property in a action filter, you need to look at Session through the filterContext.

filterContext.HttpContext.Session
