HttpContext is null

Guest User

6y19.1k.NET

I have the code below to set the HttpContext.Current. It works on Windows but in Mac I encounter the following errors:

'HttpContext' is a type, which is not valid in the given context

And a message when pointing the cursor to HttpContext

Inconsistent body style: use expression body

What should I do?

you need setup middleware for this

app.UseSession(); // in your startup class configure method

and then
services.AddHttpContextAccessor(); // to get the IHttpContextAccessor
services.AddSession(); // to add ConfigureServices method in startup class
YourController(IServiceProvider services)
        {
            _services = services;
        }
public void SetBrand(object value)
{
            ISession session = _services.GetRequiredService().HttpContext.Session;
            session.SetString("Brand", value);
}
