Answer 1

Use

if (HttpContext.Current == null || 
    HttpContext.Current.Session == null || 
    HttpContext.Current.Session["ShoppingCart"] == null)

instead of

if (Session["ShoppingCart"] == null)

Answer 2

The issue is that your class does not inherit from Page. you need to Change

public class ShoppingCart

to

public class ShoppingCart : Page

and it will work
