You should not use Session in ASMX web services or any web service for that matter. It goes against best practices and therefore you should rethink the design. Can you explain why Session is required?
Keep in mind, Session uses state on the client (cookie) and the server (memory). The cookie unlocks the user's memory location. You need to pass the cookie on each and every request from the client. This means the client must persist the data.
IMHO, if the client is already persisting the data then there is no reason to use Session as you are storing the same data in two different locations.
i thought the coding above can work inside the .asmx page but actually no.
my question is how to call session in .asmx page ?
According to your code, I create a sample using the following code, it seems that
the web service (.asmx page) and the web page should in the same project.
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class WebService1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod(EnableSession =true)]
public string SayHello(string name)
{
string datetime = "Null";
if (Session["Date"] != null)
datetime = Session["Date"].ToString();
return string.Format("Hello {0}, Login time: {1}", name, datetime);
}
}
The screenshot as below:
Besides, if you want to share the session value from different project, I suggest you could try to use DataBase.

Hi,
What error do you get?
Also check if you get the needed cookie for the session in your browser. You can make use of the F12 tools of your browser of choice to look that up.

Hi Wibowo Wiwit,
According to your code, I create a sample using the following code, it seems that the web service (.asmx page) and the web page should in the same project.
Code in web page:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function () { $("#Button1").click(function () { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "../Web_Service/WebService1.asmx/SayHello", data: '{name: "' + "AAA" + '"}', contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", success: function (response) { $("#div_MethondResult").html(response.d); }, failure: function (response) { $("#div_MethondResult").html(response.d); } }); return false; }); }); </script> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /> <div id="div_MethondResult"> </div>Code in web page code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Session["Date"] = DateTime.Now.ToString(); }Code in web Service:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")] [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)] [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)] // To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line. [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService] public class WebService1 : System.Web.Services.WebService { [WebMethod(EnableSession =true)] public string SayHello(string name) { string datetime = "Null"; if (Session["Date"] != null) datetime = Session["Date"].ToString(); return string.Format("Hello {0}, Login time: {1}", name, datetime); } }The screenshot as below:
