Question

I have a Business Layer set up as another C# project within my solution, I need to call HttpContext but no matter what I try I cannot get it to reference correctly.

I have tried getting Visual Studio to pick up the reference needed with no luck, and I have also tried putting a reference to System.Web manually but these do not seems to work.

I have also noticed that Session is not being found as well.

Below is the code snippet I’ve used

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;

namespace BussinessLayer
{
    class UserPermissions
    {
        public void redirectToLogin()
        {

            if (Session["user"] == null)
            {
                HttpContext.
                if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["userName"] == null)
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("/login.aspx");
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

Does anyone know whay HttpContext or Session are not being found?

This is to do with targeting the .NET 4 Client Profile. You’ll be able to fix this by retargeting your project to the full .NET Framework 4.
