Store List to session

is it possible to store list to session variable in Asp.net C# ?

Yes, you can store any object (I assume you are using ASP.NET with default settings, which is in-process session state):

Session["test"] = myList;

You should cast it back to the original type for use:

var list = (List<int>)Session["test"];
// list.Add(something);

As Richard points out, you should take extra care if you are using other session state modes (e.g. SQL Server) that require objects to be serializable.

Yes. Which platform are you writing for? ASP.NET C#?

List<string> myList = new List<string>();
Session["var"] = myList;

Then, to retrieve:

myList = (List<string>)Session["var"];

I found in a class file outside the scope of the Page, the above way (which I always have used) didn't work.
I found a workaround in this "context" as follows:

HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("currentUser", appUser);

and

(AppUser) HttpContext.Current.Session["currentUser"]

Otherwise the compiler was expecting a string when I pointed the object at the session object.

Try this..

    List<Cat> cats = new List<Cat>
    {
        new Cat(){ Name = "Sylvester", Age=8 },
        new Cat(){ Name = "Whiskers", Age=2 },
        new Cat(){ Name = "Sasha", Age=14 }
    };
    Session["data"] = cats;
    foreach (Cat c in cats)
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Cats>>" + c.Name);     //DEBUGGG

YourListType ListName = (List<YourListType>)Session["SessionName"];

public class ProductList
{
   public string product{get;set;}
   public List<ProductList> objList{get;set;}
}
   
ProductList obj=new ProductList();
obj.objList=new List<ProductList>();
obj.objList.add(new ProductList{product="Football"});

now assign obj to session

Session["Product"]=obj;

for retrieval of session.

ProductList objLst = (ProductList)Session["Product"];
