WebAPI 2 attribute routing enable session state

Question

We figured out how to enable session state with webapi Sample here

Now we have WebApi 2 attribute routing, so we no longer have route object to inject custom handler.

Is there any way of enabling session state with attribute routing?

Answer 1

You need to add this to global.asax

protected void Application_PostAuthorizeRequest() 
{
    System.Web.HttpContext.Current.SetSessionStateBehavior(System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.Required);
}

Then you could access the session through:

HttpContext.Current.Session
