Store whole model class members in session

Question

In a newly created MVC4 application, I would like to store all the USERProfile members in a session such that I can access all the values after the user logs in. But Session array object only proposes 2 alternative

Session[int]/Session[string]

I need to retrieve

Session['username']; Session['age']; etc

anything existing in that class.

Answer 1

You can store

Session["UserProfile"]=UserProfile; // User Profile being an object

The caveat, is when you retrieve your profile you must cast it:

UserProfile profile = (UserProfile) Session["UserProfile"]
