Hi sunny,
You can assign & access any type of data with session irrespective of type(strongly typed model) of your view.
So, Not a problem straight forward you can access it in your view.
If your value is just a simple string or any primitive :
@{
var username = session["username"]
username
}
If your value is complex object then you need to typecast.
Thank you.

public ActionResult SaveEvent(MeetingDetail Ms,string sessionvalues)

{

using (MeetingEntities db = new MeetingEntities())

{

db.MeetingDetails.Add(Ms);

db.SaveChanges();

ModelState.Clear();

ViewBag.Message = true;

return View("Index");

}

}

in MeetingDetails table add userid column ok

then store the userid when ever you go for creation of meeting details
MeetingDetails dataobj=new MeetingDetails();

dataobj.userid=sessionvalues; // do conversion with respect your datatype

dataobj.column=value;
db.MeetingDetails.Add(dataobj);

db.savechnages();

note clear session value if user clicks logut button

as per my code
@ViewData["sessionvalues"]

that p tag holds your session data so assign this value to any textbox
in controller level using formcollection you will get the value.
